Prior to 2017, a school’s student mobility rate reported the total incidents of students transferring in or out which caused a duplicate count for students who transferred in or out more than once during the year.
Students may change schools for a variety of reasons such as a family move, a transfer to a school that better serves the student's needs, or a period of homelessness. Continual student turnover is shown to be academically and socially disruptive to both ongoing and transferring students.
