Revised Cohort Definitions• Revised cohort definitions were applied to district and school

cohorts (including Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Yonkers) beginning in the 2010-11 school year for the 4 and 5 year cohorts (2007 and 2006 cohorts, respectively). This definition includes in the cohort any student enrolled in a school or district for one day or longer. Previously, a student need be enrolled for five months or longer to be included in the cohort. The 2011-12 and 2012-13 school year results use these the revised cohort definitions for all cohorts (4, 5, and 6 year).

Aspirational Performance Measures (APMs) were calculated based on the total number of students in the 2009, 2008 and 2007 cohorts as of June 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively (including students who dropped out or transferred to an approved GED program).

Graduation rate is the percentage of these students who graduated with a Local, Regents, or Regents with Advanced Designation diploma.

Regents Diploma with Advanced Designation requires 22 units of credit, passing 7 to 9 Regents examinations with 65 or above, and advanced course sequences in languages other than English, CTE, or the arts.

ELA/Math APM is the percentage of these students who graduated with a Local, Regents, or Regents with Advanced Designation diploma and scored*:• 75 or higher on the English Regents examination, and• 80 or higher on a mathematics Regents examination* Or who achieved the minimum score accepted by the Department on an approved alternative to a Regents examination (see http://www.p12.nysed.gov/apda/hsgen/archive/list.pdf).
