Graduation ratesAssistant Superintendent Greg Schwab presented data for the class of 2025, reporting a Districtwide graduation rate of 86%, a 1.5% increase over the previous year. The eLearning Academy saw a significant jump, growing from a 48% graduation rate in 2024 to 61%. All major programs and most racial/ethnic groups saw increases in four-year graduation rates, except Hispanic/Latino students, whose rate fell from 74% to 73%. If students do fail, the District is exploring more quick-grade-recovery options through support during the school day, after school and in the summer.
