Why this matters here
The National Center for Education Statistics defines and publishes the Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate (ACGR)—a standardized on-time graduation metric used for accountability and comparison across schools and states. When Incentives Become the Moral Language treats ACGR as a portable proxy for institutional quality that can pressure schools to move students through even when support is thin. NCES supplies the measure’s definition and data; the book asks what formation becomes invisible once the rate becomes the argument.
