Graduation rates printed as fractions read correctly

Graduation rates that colleges print as fractions, such as 0.945, are now stored correctly, and five more colleges show graduation rates by group.

What's new

Rates printed as fractions are read correctly. Some colleges, including Yale, Georgia, and Vassar, print graduation rates as fractions (0.945) instead of percents (94.5%). Those had been read as a fraction of a percent and held back. They're now corrected, and five more colleges show graduation rates for Pell, loan, and other students: Georgia, Vassar, Pratt, St. Mary's College of Maryland, and Eastern Oregon.

Behind the scenes

A one-time script corrected 128 saved values in 24 documents, using the number printed in each value's own quote, with no new downloads or model calls; the two documents whose quote doesn't print the exact number were left as they were. A free re-check then passed 310 graduation values. The data workflow also gains a "reextract" option for re-reading a call from saved copies after a future schema change.
