How did we get the comparison numbers?
The 9th-12th grade and graduation rate maps are broken into two categories: above and below the state graduation average. California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS) report a 68.7% graduation rate from the 1996 9th grade cohort. Additionally, the CSU/UC Eligible rate is compared by the state master plan goal of the top 1/3 of each graduating class to be eligible to enroll in UCs or CSUs. Since only 68% of students graduate, 1/3 of 68.7 % results in 23% of incoming 9th graders qualifying for eligibility. Lastly, the UC-going goal of California states that the top eighth of the graduating class be accepted into a UC, or 1/8th of the 68.7% of incoming 9th graders, for a state average of 8.5% of the 9th grade cohort. The data represented on the income map is from census data.
