June Graduation Rate Highlights – 2014 Cohort

• 2014 Cohort June graduation rates retained gains of previous

years and generally remained level at 80.4%

• Continues the upward trend and is 9.5 percentage points higher

than it was for the 2004 cohort (70.9%)

• Graduation rates increased most in NYC by 1.6 percentage

points; charter schools went down 2.5 percentage points

• Achievement gaps narrowing among black and Hispanic

students by 4.7 and 3.8 percentage points respectively since 2011 cohort

• Current ELLs and Students with Disabilities went up 2.4

percentage points and 1.7 percentage points respectively

• More work remains to be done to further close achievement

gaps; part of this work is to identify where opportunity gaps exist

• Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, IEP diplomas were no longer available. Students with disabilities may become members of a graduation

cohort based upon their date of birth and these students earned IEP diplomas prior to the 2013-14 school year.

• Due to rounding, numbers may not add up to 100%.

* Data are available for the 2005-06 to 2017-18 school years only. Therefore, students who received ELL services prior to 2005-06 are not identified as Ever ELL. Current ELL are students who were identified as ELL during the school year of their last enrollment . Ever ELL are students identified as ELL in any school year preceding the school year of their last enrollment.* Never ELL are students who never were identified for ELL services.*

Regents Actions on Multiple Pathways to Graduation

• Jan. 2015: Approved multiple assessment pathways in:



Arts



Language Other Than English (LOTE)



Career/Technical Education



Humanities



Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)

• Jun. 2016: Established a new Career Development

Occupational Studies (CDOS) graduation pathway

• March 2018: Approved five languages other than

English exams expanding access to a LOTE pathway in four different languages

3131

Regents Actions for Students with Disabilities

• Jun. 2016: Enabled superintendents to make a

determination on the academic proficiency of certain students with disabilities to graduate with a local diploma

• Dec. 2017: Expanded the superintendent

determination to allow CDOS credential for students with disabilities who pass Regents-level ELA & Math courses but not Regents exams

Identifying Opportunity Gaps

To ensure equity across the state, we need to increase

• pportunities to support successful students.

Part of this effort will be to explore which schools offer

• pportunities for:
• Multiple graduation pathways
• Participation in My Brother’s Keeper programs
• Access to high level coursework
• Early College High School programs
• PTECH programs

34

My Brother’s Keeper

• $48 million awarded to more than 100 districts and

colleges through 3 grant programs



23 Communities



7 Tribal Nations



40 Challenge Grants



45 Family and Community Engagement Grants



36 My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) Fellows



16 Teacher Opportunity Corps (TOC) II funded programs



5 Exemplary School Model Practice Schools (ESMP)

35

Conclusion

• Achievement gaps are starting to narrow; however,

much work remains to be done

• Overall statewide graduation rate trend continues

upward

• Board and Department remain focused on bringing

educational equity to all New York students
