This file contains number of students and the corresponding graduation rate of students who receive a regular high school diploma at the end of their high school matriculation. There may be up to three graduation rates for a given school year. The 4-year rate represents the number of students who graduate with a regular diploma within 4 years of enrolling as a first-time freshman (9th grader). The 5-year rate represents the number of students who graduate with a regular diploma within 5 years of enrolling as a first-time freshman. The 6-year rate represents the number of students who graduate with a regular diploma within 6 years of enrolling as a first-time freshman. Because the 5- and 6-year graduation rates include those students who graduated within 4 years, the 5- and 6- year rates will generally be larger than the 4-year graduation rate.

This file contains two enrollment statistics for a given school year. First, it shows the end-of-year enrollment, which contains any actively enrolled student in a Delaware public school for at least one day. Since end-of-year enrollment allows for student movement between schools, students entering schools from out of state, and students leaving schools, the total number of students are not meant to reflect the actual number of students enrolled at any point-in-time. End-of-year enrollment is meant to show the total number of students being educated within the public school system within a school year. The second key statistic is Fall enrollment. This snapshot is taken at the beginning of each school year to help the state properly allocate resources to schools. Fall enrollment is generally smaller than end-of-year enrollment.
