Florida's graduation rate is a cohort graduation rate, which measures the percentage of students who graduate within four years of their first enrollment in ninth grade.  Non-graduates include students who have been retained and are still in ninth grade, attending adult education, received certificates of completion, received GED-based diplomas, withdrew to a contracted private school, or dropped out of school.
