I think its important that Virginia brought in the qualifier "who had this as a goal"

You also need to qualify the "advancement" or "completion" by considering the level of the learners at the beginning of the period being measured and the amount of instructional hours leading to that advancement.  There is a great variation among our learners that we need to honor as authentic and clearly measure for the information of funders.

What about something like this?
OK 10-20 % of those who had this as a goal
Fair 20-30% of those who had this as a goal
Good 30-40% of those who had this as a goal
Excellent anything above 50%

Forgive my cross posting to a few NIFL lists, but I received the
following question, and I am hoping that someone has good advice that I
can share with the person who asked me.

If you were to review a program's "graduation" or "completion" rates
from one level to the next (for example from ESL to ABE or ASE/GED or
ABE to ASE/GED) what would you consider a  "good" rate?

Thanks,
