Abstract	The District conducts a "cross-sectional" analysis of student dropouts annually; it examines dropout rates among students enrolled in various grades at one point in time. A "longitudinal" analysis, also conducted annually, tracks a group of students in the same grade or cohort over a period of several years. Each method addresses a different aspect of how many students are dropping out of school. This research brief provides information on the cross-sectional and longitudinal dropout rates and longitudinal graduation rates for 2005-2006. Results of the Cross-Sectional Dropout Analysis include: (1) The cross-sectional dropout rate for 2005-2006 for grades 9-12 was 4.9%. This was the same as the cross-sectional dropout rate for 2004-2005; (2) Consistent with previous local and national findings, female students were categorized as dropouts less frequently than were male students. Specifically, the rate for male students for 2005-2006 was 6.0 percent (grades 9-12). The rate for female students was 3.8 percent (grades 9-12); and (3) White, Non-Hispanic students were categorized as dropouts less frequently than were either Hispanic or Black, Non-Hispanic students. Specifically, the 2005-2006 rate for White, Non-Hispanic students was 3.5 percent (grades 9-12); for Hispanic students the rate was 4.3 percent (grades 9-12); and for Black, Non-Hispanic students the rate was 6.8 percent (grades 9-12).
