Indicator 2 is a percentage using the number of youth with IEPs (ages 14-21) who exited special education due to dropping out in the numerator and the number of all youth with IEPs who left high school (ages 14-21) in the denominator (in a single year). The denominator includes the following exiting categories: graduated with a regular high school diploma, received a certificate, reached maximum age, and dropped out.
