Common Data Project – 2024 Report

The New England Secondary School Consortium (NESSC) Common Data Project Annual Report provides transparent, comparable data about high school and college outcomes from across New England. We began tracking high school graduation and dropout rates in 2009. Since then, we have added extended high school graduation rates, as well as college enrollment, persistence, and completion measures.

Explore the dashboard below to see regional and state-level trends in each of the student attainment measures. For an examination of potential inequities in secondary and post-secondary school outcomes, data may also be disaggregated by any of the following student characteristics: economic disadvantage, English Learner status, disability status, gender, and race or ethnicity. 

Use the links within the dashboard below to explore the most recent data and historical data trends, as well as the project’s methodology and procedures.
