K12 Dual Enrollment Journey: The denominator for matriculation metrics is not restricted to K12 Dual Enrollment students who are seniors. In a later release, age may be used to estimate students who are 12th graders to display more accurate percentages.
This metric is aligned to the original SCFF definition. However, it will not align to the SCFF definition where the 12 or more units have to be earned in the district in the selected year prior to transfer
Only students with valid social security numbers can be tracked
