Indicator 1 Indicator 1 - - Graduation Graduation Description: Youth with IEPs graduating high school with a regular diploma. Regulation: 20 U.S.C. 1415(a)(3)(A) Measurement: States must report a percentage using the number of youth with IEPs (ages 14-21) who exited special education due to graduating with a regular high school diploma in the numerator and the number of all youth with IEPs who left high school (ages 14-21) in the denominator. Data for this indicator are lag data. Describe the results of the State s examination of the data for the year before the reporting year (e.g., for the FFY 2020 SPP/APR, use data from 2019-2020), and compare the results to the target. The following exiting categories are included in the denominator: (a) graduated with a regular high school diploma; (b) graduated with a state-defined alternate diploma; (c) received a certificate; (d) reached maximum age; or (e) dropped out. The following exiting categories are not included in the denominator the number of youths with IEPs who exited special education due to: (a) transferring to regular education; or (b) who moved but are known to be continuing in an educational program.
