1. See https://erdc.wa.gov/data-dashboards/high-school-feedback-report for more details.
2. To protect student privacy, some rows of this dataset are “blurred.” In these cases, the [Pct] column is null, and the [RedactedPct] column displays a range of percentages. The actual percentage lands somewhere between the range displayed.
3. Cohort Type: In order to display as many demographic groups as possible while maintaining student privacy, some rows of this dataset represent a 3-Year rolling average (indicated by [cohortType] = ‘3yr’). In these cases, the year displayed is the last year of the rolling average: “2007” contains students that graduated in 2007, 2006, and 2005.
