Special Considerations

The stability rate and mobility rates provide an analysis of how often students move or remain within a school during a school year. The rates are intended to provide a better understanding of students who remained at a school or district without interruption throughout the school year. Therefore, a student may be considered mobile for a school but not at the district level if they move between schools in a district.
- District level data rates focus on movement into/out of a district or BOCES.
- School level rates focus on movement into/out of a school.
In lieu of statewide rates, average district and average school rates are used to provide a high level overview of mobility and stability rates across Colorado schools.
