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

Disaggregating the data by student characteristics across all six indicators allows us to examine educational equity in New England secondary school outcomes by economic disadvantage (ED), English learner status (EL), disability status, gender, and now race/ethnicity.
