Скачать или смотреть AT&T Data for Diplomas - Data Analytics Web Application, High School Graduation Rates

The Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rates ACGR is a method used to track students who enter high school together and graduate on time with a regular high school diploma within 4 years. In 2001, the national on time graduation rate stood at 71.7%. The current national graduation rate stands at 81.4%.

Our goal is to reach 90% on time completion by 2020. We hope our data centric web application can help reach this milestone.

Purpose of this analysis tool is to identify key actionable insights that can account for variation in Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rates (ACGR). We plan to communicate this information with an easy to use data driven web application founded on our results

How it works:
For each state, our web application establishes the magnitude of the graduation problem by identifying the cohorts that account for the most failures. For each cohort the web app considers at greatest risk of failure, the user can discover the variables that have the most predictive power in determining a given cohort's graduation rate. The user can then select actionable variables from options provided by the web app and stress test the variables in a linear regression model. Finally, after finding actionable variables that can improve a cohort's graduation rate, the user can determine the yearly improvement required by the cohort to reach an overall 90% graduation rate by 2020.
