What is interesting to note are the drop-out rates. While these largely reflect exactly what you would think – namely students who have quit school without getting their diplomas – the term isn’t without definitional warts. It includes students that have bureaucratically fallen through the cracks.
Students who end up sometimes being referred to as “non-completers” include those that have legally stopped attending school. But it can also include students who haven’t been tracked properly when they have transferred to other districts. So if Billy transfers from School A to School B, and School A doesn’t change his status to note that he has transferred to another district, he will ultimately be lumped into the “drop out rate” of School A. While these types of snafus are hopefully minimal, they undoubtedly do occur, especially if Billy’s family has moved out of state.
