Mobility / Stability Statistics - Previous School Years

Data Notes:

The mobility calculation timeframe has been adjusted twice since this data began being collected in 2006-2007. 

Initially, students who moved within the same district over the summer were not counted as mobile students.

In the 2012-2013 school year, the mobility calculation was modified. This rule was expanded in the 2012-2013 year so that students who transfer over the summer (summer transfers only) to different districts are not counted as mobile students.

The second modification occurred in the 2017-2018 school year. In 2017-2018 the mobility calculation timeframe was modified so that only entries and exits that occur from the October Count date to the end of the school year are included in the calculation. Students must have a gap in attendance of more than 10 days for a move to be considered mobile.
