In 2013, the national high school graduation rate hit a record high of 81.4 percent, and for the third year in a row, the nation remained on pace to meet the 90 percent goal by the Class of 2020.

Gorlewski, Julie – English Journal, 2011
The word "data" connotes math, science, and technology: digits and quantifiable units.

Bergman, Barbara – Journal of Staff Development, 2012
Teachers in the Federal Way (Wash.) Public Schools had no shortage of student data.
