FAQs

Welcome to the EDE Frequently asked questions (FAQs) here you will find ...

EDE currently provides graduation rate data for all students and many subgroups at the SEA and LEA levels.  Graduation rate data can be found in both the dashboard and data download tool sections of the site, see Graduation Rate Map and SY1819 Graduation Rate Download, respectively.

Data related to the Four Year Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate (ACGR) are collected in File Specifications / Data Groups FS150/DG695 (graduation rate) and FS151/DG696 (cohort count) and are associated with the Title I Part A section of EDE. 

Once you have used the filters on the download tool to get the dataset that you need (See FAQ “how do I build the dataset I need?), you can download the data in three easy steps.  (Please check the number of records before you begin to download as it is not recommended to download more than 500,000 records at a time)

1. Scroll down to the bottom of the preview of your data set, and select the ‘download’ button

At the bottom of the preview of data, there is a button that one can choose that will start the download process.

2. You have the option to download the CSV or Data Notes.  We recommend that you download both -- but you need to do it one at a time.
