* Successful transition from 9thgrade to 10th grade requires that students earn at least five credits with at least one Math, one lab-based Science, and English 9.
**Post-secondary degrees include all 2- and 4-year degrees as tracked in the National Student Clearinghouse database. There is currently no method to track the percentage of students who attain a license and/or certificate (i.e., something other than a traditional two or four year degree). The metrics in this table will be recalculated based on input from all the school districts in Montgomery County. The superintendents from the districts will put together district level metrics in the fall of 2011 and those will be aggregated into new community metrics for Montgomery County. The metrics provided above are suggestive of what the final metrics might look like.
