The nonacademic data includes results from attendance, retention, dropout, graduation and successful transition to adult life, which comprise the non-academic component of the Commonwealth Accountability Testing System (CATS). The attendance rate provides the percent of attendance for all students and is collected from primary through grade twelve (12).

The dropout definition holds schools accountable for students for a full school year, which includes summer dropouts .Simply put, the graduation rate is the percentage of students entering a high school in the ninth grade that graduate in four years.The successful transition to adult life data provides detailed information on the status of Kentucky graduates. The transition data is collected in the fall of each year when school personnel survey prior year graduates. Successful measures for graduates include full-time college, vocational or technical school, military, work, and a combination of work/school.
