Notes:
- Rates reflect the number of students meeting the National Center for Education Statistics definition for dropouts expressed as a percentage of academic year enrollment in grades 7-12.
- School districts are assigned to one county for administrative purposes, although they often overlap county boundaries. Therefore, county average rates may not reflect the actual performance of all students in that county.
