Example data exploration
OCID analysis found that midyear school transitions and involvement with the juvenile justice system are 2 of the top barriers to 4-year high school graduation.
- Select Midyear school transition as characteristic A and Juvenile justice contact as characteristic B.
- Among students in the Class of 2020;
- There was a 91% 4-year graduation rate for the 18,310 students who never had juvenile justice contact or a midyear school transition.
- In comparison, there was a 40% 4-year graduation rate for the 2,330 students who ever changed school midyear and who ever had juvenile justice contact.
- Filter by the demographic of Parents’ education at birth
- Overall graduation rates increase for all groups born to parents with 4 or more years of college education.
- In contrast, overall graduation rates decrease for all students born to parents with less than 4 years of high school.

Important Things to Know
- Measures of educational success can take different forms such as career and technical education, apprenticeship pathways, generalized equivalency diploma (GED), and 4-year or extended high school graduation. Of these outcomes, OCID currently only has access to 4-year high school graduation data for the 2020 class.
- Personal characteristics such as race and ethnicity or geography are intended to act as a proxy for experiences or exposures that cannot be measured accurately and completely with available data, such as systemic racism, toxic stress, or lack of access to resources. These data do not fully describe an individual’s identity or experience.
- Causal relationships between characteristics and outcomes or explanations for patterns cannot be drawn from this analysis. OCID’s subsequent in-depth analyses will use advanced statistical methods to better understand patterns and relationships.
- Currently, OCID only includes children born in Oregon from 2001 onwards. We estimate that 25% of children who are current Oregon residents were not born in the state and, thus, are not included in OCID. Please visit the Explore OCID page for more information.
- In order to protect the identities of individuals in the OCID population, and in adherence to data use agreements covering release of the data, results are suppressed if they do not meet minimum reporting thresholds. Please visit the Dataset Overview page for details.
