What Happens After You Create Month 8 Enrollments

Once Month 8 Enrollments are created for a non-traditional high school, those counts become a critical part of the school’s accountability calculation.

How the Data Is Used

• The entered Month 8 enrollment counts become the official student totals for each grade band.
• These counts are used as the source of truth for weighting in accountability calculations.

Impact on Accountability Calculations

• The total number of students in each group (below 9th grade and grades 9–12) is calculated using the Month 8 data.
• Each group’s composite score is weighted based on the proportion of students in that group.
• This is done by applying each group’s score relative to its share of the total student population.

Result

• The overall high school impact score is recalculated using these weighted values.
• Any updates to Month 8 enrollment counts will directly affect the school’s final accountability outcome.

Why This Matters

Month 8 Enrollments directly determine how much each group of students contributes to the final score.

Accurate entry is essential, as changes in enrollment counts can impact the school’s overall performance classification.
