Utah 2021 Graduation Rates: 4-Year Graduation Report
Utah State Board of Education
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires the state to calculate a four-year cohort rate. Utah implemented a federally defined cohort graduation rate in 2008. The graduation rate for the 2021 cohort includes all students who started ninth grade in the 2017-18 school year, plus students who transferred into the Utah public education system after ninth grade. Students in the cohort have four possible final outcomes: (1) Graduate; (2) Continuing student; (3) Other completer; and (4) Dropout. Highlights from this report include the following: (1) Utah's state graduation rate for the 2021 cohort is 88.1%; (2) Students who are Asian had the highest graduation rate -- 91.7% for the 2021 cohort; (3) Utah's 2021 graduation rate has remained consistent with the 2020 graduation rate; and (4) Due to a larger cohort size, 1,233 more students graduated in 2021 than in 2020.
