CTE Classification Logic

CTE Clusters (Categories) are derived from NCES SCED course code attribute mappings.

Each cluster indicator is reported as:

  • Y = Course aligns to the cluster

  • N = Course does not align to the cluster

Course Inclusion Rules

Only latest qualifying marks for the reporting year are included.

Transcript-only marks use transcript school, course, and grade values when applicable.
