Nope. While there are small groups of states who report certain indicators the same way, only the adjusted cohort graduation rate can be compared across all states – and that’s because there is one mandated definition for how to calculate that number.

Just ten states – Massachusetts, Ohio, Oregon, Washington, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, and Florida – report data about whether students are on track to graduate. See how all states stack up here.
