INTRODUCTION Since 1971 the South Carolina Department of Education has collected and analyzed data on school dropouts. The Report on Student Dropout Rates provides an assessment of the progress made by state and local school districts in their effort to reduce the number of school dropouts and increase the graduation rate. The annual data collection process employed in South Carolina reports students who leave school during a twelve-month period including those who leave over the summer. The process allows those who reenroll during the collection period and remain in school to be excluded from the count. The 2011 12 dropout report consists of nine tables. Table 1 contains a comparison of the total number of dropouts with the total enrollment in grades nine through twelve. This comparison called an event rate shows the proportion of students who drop out in one year. The resulting percentage may be compared yearly as an indicator of progress. Tables 2 through 9 compare the number of dropouts with enrollment by ethnicity and gender categories in grades nine through twelve. 1
ADULT EDUCATION During the 2011 12 school year more than 14,279 students between the ages of seventeen and twentyone were enrolled in adult education programs in South Carolina.
