   What you seeWithheld by the publisher

   The publisher suppressed this cell (too few students to report). The site stores it as suppressed and never as zero.

   How it was computedvalue = published 4-year cohort graduation rate (district file, indexed by cohort entry year; state file, indexed by report year)

   1. Read the district's graduation CSV (all cohorts, 4/5/6-year rates, by subgroup) and store by cohort year.
   2. The state's Future Ready file also carries a 4-year rate for every school including charters; it is stored under the same key but indexed by report year.

   Note: stored percentiles are computed by a batch script after loads; a difference from the live reconstruction means a newer load changed the comparison set and the batch has not been re-run.

   To confirm you have the same file: download it from the URL above, then run shasum -a 256 <downloaded file> Copy command — the output should equal the hash above. If the publisher has since replaced the file, the hashes will differ, which is itself useful to know.

   The publisher's fileFuture Ready PA Index datafile, 2024-25

   Pennsylvania Department of Education (Future Ready PA Index). The state's school-level accountability indicators for every public school in Pennsylvania — test proficiency, growth (PVAAS), persistent attendance, graduation — by subgroup.

   • The chronic-absenteeism column exists in the file but is empty for individual Philadelphia schools; the state reports persistent attendance instead.
   • Publishes no student counts for the attendance measure.
   • Its 90%-attendance figure does not match the district's for the same schools (see the cross-publisher check).

   How it was checkedChecks: 2 passed

   • ✓ passedBase case (district file, 2021-22 cohort): 75 of 75 unsuppressed cells match
   • ✓ passedCompleteness

   Checked at ±0.5: 0 mismatches, 0 cells served but absent from the file, 1 in the file but not served (ALL, n/a, latest year).

   Assumptions & caveatsAssumptions and caveats

   • The two publishers' rows never collide on (school, year, subgroup) because they use different year conventions; readers must check which convention a given year follows.

   • Two year conventions coexist under one key — a known v1 wart flagged for normalization.
