The Board accepted a report on improved graduation rates within the District, which highlighted an 86.6 percent graduation rate during the 2024-2025 school year, representing a 5.1 percent increase from the previous year.
The presentation credited improved graduation rates to our educators and staff, academic planning with students, enrollment in advanced coursework, improved Tier I curriculum and instruction, and CTE pathways aligned with industry demands.
