This indicator focuses on Grade 9, a critical year in high school. It looks at whether students are earning at least five full credits and passing all their core courses (English, Math, Science, and Social Studies). Students who are on track in 9th grade are far more likely to graduate on time. This indicator helps schools identify students early who may need extra support.
Percentage of 9th graders earning at least five (5) full-year credits in the year. This indicator also applies to the district/school where the 9th graders were enrolled when they were in 8th grade.
This indicator shows the percentage of students who graduate within four years of entering high school. It reflects how well schools are supporting students to complete their education on time. A strong four-year graduation rate is often linked to college and career readiness and success as a system. It is our goal to maintain our high graduation rate of 96%.
Percentage of ffirst time 9th graders who graduated with a regular high school diploma in four years or less -- All students
Not all students graduate in four years. This indicator tracks students who graduate within six years, providing more time for those who may face additional challenges. It helps ensure that schools are not just focused on speed, but on helping every student succeed, especially those in high-needs populations.
Percentage of ffirst time 9th graders who graduated with a regular high school diploma in six years or less -- High-needs students. Last updaed in Edsight in 2020-2021.
The NEASC Committee on Public Elementary, Middle, and High Schools — a merger of the former Committee on Public Secondary Schools (CPSS) and Committee on Public Elementary and Middle Schools (CPEMS) — engaged for several years in a purposeful reflection on the value of Accreditation and re-designed the K-12 Public School Accreditation process to better meet the changing needs of member schools. The Collaborative Conference was held at Bethel High School in the Fall of 2020.
The Collaborative Conference Visit report for Bethel High School reflects the first stage in the accreditation process. This report was generated after the visit in November of 2020.
The three-year report occured in the Spring of 2024. To see the summary letter, please click the button below.
