Nationally, graduation rates fell slightly during the 1990s; the ratio of the number of regular diplomas awarded to the number of 10th graders enrolled three years earlier declined from 77 percent in 1991 to 76 percent in 2001. (educationnext.org)
That figure comes from a survey of a post-school-age population, includes private school alumni, lumps regular diplomas together with GEDs, and overlooks people who live in prisons and other institutions. (wacharterschools.org)
