In accordance with the Wyoming Accountability in Education Act, the Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) has prepared two student-level reports to calculate the readiness sub-indicator for traditional and alternative high schools. Districts have until January 23 to verify the accuracy of credits earned and credits required for graduation in the student-level data file.
Districts can resubmit transcripts that are in error or submit missing transcripts. Transcripts must be submitted via the WDE949 process. The two fields on the reports used for accountability are Credits Earned and Required Grad Credits. After January 23, the data will be used for accountability purposes.
These reports contain student-level data and are confidential. The credits earned indicator is lagged and uses the prior year’s data. A traditional school’s score for this sub-indicator is the percentage of 9th-grade students that, by September 15 of the following school year, are on track to graduate, having earned one-fourth of the required credits. An alternative school’s score for this sub-indicator is the percentage of students in the full academic year that, by September 15 of the following school year, are on track to graduate or have earned one quarter of the credits in the prior year.
To view the Credits Earned data reports, log into the WDE Reports Portal, select the Accountability Confidential tab, and expand the Credits Earned Reports header on the left side of the page.
