Fetch 6-Year Graduation Rate data

Source: R/fetch_graduation.R
fetch_6yr_grad_rate.Rd

Downloads and processes 6-year graduation rate data from the NJ School Performance Reports database. This data shows the percentage of students who graduated within six years of entering high school.

Usage

fetch_6yr_grad_rate(end_year, level = "school")

Arguments

end_year

A school year. Year is the end of the academic year - eg 2020-21 school year is end_year '2021'. Valid values are 2021-2024.

level

One of "school" or "district". "school" returns school-level data, "district" returns district and state-level data.

Value

dataframe with 6-year graduation rates including:

  • end_year, county_id, county_name, district_id, district_name

  • school_id, school_name (for school-level data)

  • subgroup - student group (total population, racial/ethnic groups, etc.)

  • grad_rate_6yr - 6-year graduation rate (0-100 scale)

  • continuing_rate - percentage of students still enrolled after 6 years

  • non_continuing_rate - percentage who dropped out or left

  • persistence_rate - graduates + continuing students (high school persistence)

  • Aggregation flags (is_state, is_district, is_school, is_charter)

Details

The 6-year graduation data is from a different source than the 4-year and 5-year data (SPR database vs ACGR files), which is why it has its own fetch function rather than being an option in fetch_grad_rate().

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Get 2024 school-level 6-year graduation rates
grad6_2024 <- fetch_6yr_grad_rate(2024)

# Get district-level 6-year graduation rates
grad6_dist <- fetch_6yr_grad_rate(2024, level = "district")
} # }
