Dartmouth has been ranked in the top three for nine straight years
HANOVER, N.H. — The NCAA released its annual student-athlete graduation success report and Dartmouth College was tied for second in the nation with a 99 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) for student-athletes who began their college careers in 2012. Dartmouth has been ranked in the top three slots each of the nine years that the Ivy League has been included in the GSR data collection, earning the top spot nationally five times.
Â
Dartmouth had 17 of its 24 NCAA-sponsored teams post a perfect 100 percent GSR, and all varsity teams — including its non-NCAA-sponsored sports — were at or above 95 percent.
Â
All eight Ivy League schools had a GSR of at least 96 percent, the only Division I conference in the country that could boast that accomplishment. The Ancient Eight also led the nation as a conference for the ninth consecutive year.
Â
The NCAA's Graduation Success Rate includes transfer students and student-athletes who leave in good academic standing. The GSR measures graduation over six years from first-time college enrollment.
Â
In addition to the GSR, the NCAA also releases another set of data, the Academic Progress Rate (APR), to measure the academic performance and retention of each team. Athletic programs that score in the top 10 percent of their sports are honored with APR Public Recognition Awards. For those programs that do not meet the threshold, they are subject to penalties such as postseason bans and loss of scholarships. Last spring, Dartmouth College led the nation in APR, giving the school a top-three ranking for the 14th consecutive year (every year since its inception). In addition, Dartmouth remains the only school to finish atop both the APR and GSR rankings in the same year, doing so for four consecutive years (2012-15).
