Freshman On-Track (FOT) A freshman On-Track is a measure of of how many freshman are on track to graduate by the end of the freshman year. It’s based on credit accumulation & course failures. They are deemed On-Track if they have earned 6 course credits and failed no more than one semester of a core course.

A student on track at the end of 9 th grade is four times more likely to graduate than students off track.

Data to Consider Key Performance Indicators: ● Freshman On Track Rate ● Core Passing Rate ● 3. 0+ GPA ● Attendance

Defining the Data ● On track rate: number of students NOT failing more than 1 required course for graduation (calculated at the end of the semester) ● Core passing rate: number of students NOT failing any courses ● 3. 0 GPA: percentage of students with a 3. 0 or above GPA ● Attendance rate: missing no more than 1 day per month

Grades and GPA predict 80% of graduates. (3. 0 nearly all graduate, 2. 0 is 70% and 1. 0 is 25%)
