Alberta High School Completion Rates Within 3 and 5 Years (2011-2016)

2011-2012 to 2015-2016 data tracks the percentages of Alberta students completing high school within three and five years of entering Grade 10. The dataset covers students in public, separate, francophone, charter, and accredited private schools, measuring completion via diploma, equivalency, certificate, or post-secondary entry.

Use Cases

• Compare the percentages of students completing within 3 years versus 5 years of entering Grade 10.
• Model completion outcomes based on school type categories (public, separate, francophone, charter, private).
• Assess the impact of alternative completion pathways, such as post-secondary entry or apprenticeship programs, on overall rates.

Strengths

• Includes multiple school system types: public, separate, francophone, charter, and accredited private.
• Defines completion using multiple pathways including diploma, equivalency, certificate, and post-secondary entry.
