Introduction*
The Montana School Accreditation Standards (10.55.603, ARM) require schools to do follow-up studies of graduates and students no longer in
attendance, therefore, dropout data is collected from all public and accredited (by the Montana Board of Public Education) nonpublic schools. Each
fall schools report dropout data for grades 7 through 12 by gender and race/ethnicity categories for the previous school year.

The following report provides high school dropout data by county, school, and race/ethnicity for all public and accredited nonpublic high schools.
The race/ethnicity categories and dropout definitions are consistent with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) Common Core of Data (CCD) reporting, and are provided at the end of this report in the appendices, as well as data
collection and dropout rate calculation methodology. *Northern Cheyenne Tribal School data does not appear in this report.

Analysis of Montana High School Dropout Rates by Race/Ethnicity
  •   For the past few years, Montana high school dropout rates, including those for American Indians, have been on the decline, as illustrated in
      Table 1 on the following page. It is unclear, however, whether this decline is due to improved dropout rates or improved dropout data
      collection procedures and increased emphasis placed on dropout data with regards to new federal accountability requirements for public high
      schools.

  •   Montana has seven Indian reservations and one landless tribe. The “American Indian” race/ethnicity category represents the largest minority
      group in the state. During the 2004-05 school year, American Indian students dropped out of high school at a rate 3.0 times that of white
      students.

  •   During the 2000-01 through the 2004-05 school years, American Indian students made up a disproportionate percentage of dropouts.
      American Indians represented 9.7 percent of the total school enrollment for grades 9 through 12, but accounted for 23.7 percent of the
      dropouts, as illustrated in Figure 1.

  •   The race/ethnicity categories of Asian, Hispanic, Black, and Pacific Islander accounted for 3.8 percent of the total high school dropouts and
      3.7 percent of the corresponding October enrollment. Because the number of students enrolled for these race/ethnicity categories is low,
      annual dropout rates often vary widely from year to year. An average dropout rate utilizing dropout and enrollment data from multiple years
      is a more accurate indicator for these small groups.

  •   Although statewide dropout rates are useful, they can disguise differences observed between various types of schools. Figure 2 shows the
      distribution of 2004-05 high school dropout rates across Montana schools by percent of American Indian students enrolled. Although high
      schools with 25 or more percent American Indian students represented 19 percent of the total schools serving grades 9 through 12, they
      accounted for 67 percent of the schools with dropout rates greater than 6 percent. Note schools with enrollments less than 40 are not included
      in this analysis.

detailed instructions for determining whether or not a student is
considered a dropout. In 2003-04, reports were received from all accredited schools with grades 7 through 12.

Calculating a Dropout Rate
Dropout rates are calculated by dividing the number of dropouts as
                                                                            Dropout Rate Formula
defined above by the October enrollment total. Dropout rates vary for          Dropout Rate = Number of dropouts/October enrollment X 100
disaggregated student groups (i.e., race/ethnicity, gender). Calculating       Example:
and analyzing disaggregated dropout rates is key in determining if             The 2004-05 Dropout Rate for Montana Accredited Schools =
certain groups of students are more likely to drop out and can be used         1,690 Dropouts for grades 7 through 12 divided by 73,524
in developing and targeting dropout prevention efforts.                        students enrolled in October 2005 multiplied by 100 = 2.3 %

Data Limitations
Because the number of students enrolled for small schools and racial minority groups is relatively low, small annual changes in data can
cause wide variations in annual dropout. For example, in a class with 10 students, one dropout would translate to a 10 percent dropout
rate. A more realistic indicator of the dropout rate for small schools and racial minority groups is an average of several years.

Montana does not currently have an individual student information system and, therefore, cannot track individuals across schools and
school years. The OPI collects aggregate enrollment and dropout counts each fall from schools, which carries with it the risk of
misclassification of enrollment and dropout data (i.e., reporting a student’s race/ethnicity inconsistently between enrollment and dropout
data collections, reporting a transfer student as a dropout).
