For purposes of the study, on-time graduation is defined as completing an accredited high school diploma within four years of beginning a high school program. All high school-aged DCCS members were included in the study, providing a comprehensive measure rather than a sample of the population.

The 2026 results mark the seventh consecutive year that the DCCS on-time graduation rate has remained above 93%. For comparison, Kentucky reported the highest statewide on-time graduation rate in the nation in 2025 at 93.6%.^[1]
