Abstract. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) prepares an annual report on graduates and
dropouts in Texas public secondary schools. This report includes state summaries of the annual
dropout rate, longitudinal graduation and dropout rates, and state attrition rates. In addition to
statewide statistics, the report provides historical information about dropout policy in Texas and the
evolution of the dropout definition used for accountability purposes. Common methods of measuring
student progress through school are discussed, along with advantages and disadvantages associated
with each measure. Extensive background information on TEA data collection, processing, and
reporting is presented, and national requirements for dropout data are described.
