* According to the Urban Institute, the value of the Cumulative Promotion Index (CPI) indicator "approximates the probability that a student entering the 9th grade will complete high school on time with a regular diploma. It does this by representing high school graduation as a stepwise process composed of three grade-to-grade promotion transitions (9 to 10, 10 to 11, and 11 to 12) in addition to the ultimate high school graduation event (grade 12 to diploma)." The Urban Institute emphasizes that this measure "counts only students receiving regular high school diplomas as graduates," and does not include students who receive a GED. More information on the CPI is available from the Urban Institute.
