GOAL 2: PROVIDE AN EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM

DATA POINT: Dropout Data
OVERVIEW
A core value of MCPS is that every child can learn and succeed. Monitoring of the dropout rate provides evidence of how well we are fulfilling the vision that a high-quality education is the
fundamental right of every child.
A dropout is any student who leaves school for any reason, except death, before graduation or completion of a Maryland approved educational program and who is not know to have enrolled in another school or state-approved educational program during the current school year. The following charts show the dropout rates at the county level. These rates are calculated by dividing the number of dropouts by the total number of students in Grades 9-12.
