Dropout Rates - Charts
What this chart shows: Dropout Rates in Larimer County by Race/Ethnicity & Gender, 2005-06 to 2009-10
Data Source: Colorado Department of Education
What these data tell us:
Generally speaking, the dropout rates in Larimer County have been declining over the past five years. In the White student body population, the dropout rate for White males was slightly higher than for White females, which is also generally true for Hispanics. In 2007-08, the dropout rate for Hispanic female students rose nearly 15%, but then declined by more than 27% the next year.Larimer County's school districts are predominantly comprised of White students, with Hispanics being the largest minority population. There are relatively few Native American, Asian, and Black students currently in attendance. These small population numbers mean that slight deviations in dropouts each year can have a disproportionate effect on the dropout rate.
Overall, Larimer County school districts have had a lower dropout rate than the state average for both White and Hispanic students.
NOTE: In May 2009, Governor Bill Ritter signed H.B. 09-1243 into law. The purpose of this legislation was to reduce the dropout rate and increase the graduation/completion rates in Colorado. See the Colorado Department of Education's March 2010 report, Dropout Prevention and Student Re-Engagement [pdf], for more information.
What this chart shows: Dropout Rates in Park School District by Race/Ethnicity & Gender, 2005-06 to 2009-10
Data Source: Colorado Department of Education
What these data tell us:
Park School District has an ongoing transient population that affects the district's dropout rate. In addition, the Hispanic student population is relatively small, so one family with high school students leaving the area can disproportionately change the dropout rates. Between 2005-06 and 2006-07, the total number of Hispanic students reported as dropouts varied from none to seven.NOTE: In May 2009, Governor Bill Ritter signed H.B. 09-1243 into law. The purpose of this legislation was to reduce the dropout rate and increase the graduation/completion rates in Colorado. See the Colorado Department of Education's March 2010 report, Dropout Prevention and Student Re-Engagement [pdf], for more information.
What this chart shows: Dropout Rates in Poudre School District by Race/Ethnicity & Gender, 2005-06 to 2009-10
Data Source: Colorado Department of Education
What these data tell us:
In general, dropout rates for the Poudre School District have declined over the past five years, with the exception of a 9% increase in Hispanic females in 2007-08 and a 4.5% increase in Hispanic males in 2008-09. These increases represented an additional four Hispanic female dropouts and an additional three Hispanic male dropouts in the school years mentioned.NOTE: In May 2009, Governor Bill Ritter signed H.B. 09-1243 into law. The purpose of this legislation was to reduce the dropout rate and increase the graduation/completion rates in Colorado.

What this chart shows: Dropout Rates in Thompson School District by Race/Ethnicity & Gender, 2005-06 to 2009-10
Data Source: Colorado Department of Education
What these data tell us:
In general, the dropout rate for Whites has remained fairly stable over the last five school years, reaching a high of 2.7 for White males in 2006-07. There has been much more variation in the dropout rates for Hispanics students, although the actual number of Hispanic students who drop out each year is small enough to warrant caution in attributing significance to the rates.NOTE: In May 2009, Governor Bill Ritter signed H.B. 09-1243 into law. The purpose of this legislation was to reduce the dropout rate and increase the graduation/completion rates in Colorado.
