III. Job Corps Diploma Program Dropout Rate Indicator
The Job Corps Diploma Program Dropout Rate indicator is based on the total number of students participating (enrolled)
in the diploma program during the Job Corps diploma program school year: September 1 - August 31. The dropout rate is
an aggregate of Grades 9-12 dropouts as a percent of all students enrolled in the diploma program in Grades 9-12 from
September 1 - August 31.
Indicator Definition. A student is counted as a dropout if the student was enrolled in the Job Corps diploma program at
any time during the school year (September 1, 2005 - August 31, 2006) and is not enrolled in the diploma program on the
first school day in September 2006.
Exceptions: A student is not counted as a dropout if the student:
* received diploma by August 31 of the same school year;
* died;
* received a GED certificate by August 31 of the same school year;
* withdrew to enroll in college or a technical institution;
* withdrew to enroll in a Texas public or private school providing secondary education or another Job
Corps Diploma Program in Texas.
Diploma Program Dropout Rate Calculation:
dropouts (leaver code 08)diploma dropout rate
students enrolled in diploma program = diploma program dropout rate
(diploma recipients + still enrolled + leavers + dropouts) (%)
Examples of Dropout and Non-Dropout Definitions:
1. A student who withdraws from the diploma program on November 15, 2005, and re-enrolls in the diploma
program on May 15, 2006, does not receive a diploma from the diploma program by August 31, 2006, and is
enrolled on first school day in September 2006 is not a dropout for 2005-2006.
2. A student who withdraws from the diploma program on June 15, 2006, and enrolls in the GED program on
July 15, 2006, and receives a GED certificate on August 1, 2006, then re-enrolls in the diploma program on
August 15, 2006, and is enrolled on the first school day in September 2006 is not a dropout for 2005-2006.
3. A student who withdraws from the diploma program on May 15, 2006, and re-enrolls in the diploma program
on June 15, 2006, and does not complete the diploma program by August 31, 2006, and is not enrolled on
the first school day in September 2006 is reported as a dropout for 2005-2006.
Student Groups. The indicator is calculated for All Students and the following student groups.
. African American - A non-Hispanic person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa.
. Hispanic - A person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other Spanish culture
or origin, regardless of race.
. White - A non-Hispanic person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the
Middle East.
Economically Disadvantaged is not included as a student group because the definition used for public school
accountability is based on National School Lunch Program enrollment, which would not be applicable to the Job
Corps diploma program. A definition based on family income could be developed but it is likely that all Job
Corps students would be counted as economically disadvantaged under such a definition. The ethnicity
definitions are from the PEIMS Data Standards.
