The work that our schools are doing to increase students graduation opportunities is amazing and inspiring. Five years ago, some of our schools had stagnant progress in their graduation rates, said Superintendent Jeff Rose, Ed.D. Now, these schools have increased 20-30% in getting students to graduate on time. At a 2016 rate of 86.6%, we continue to be on track for meeting our strategic plan goal of 90% of all students graduating by 2017.
