jewellsmommy Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The high school that my children are zoned for has a graduation rate of 65%. This was all I could find. It represents the entire city though, not just our zoned school. "The number of students graduating on-time (in four years) has increased from 73% in 2008 to 82.9% in 2012."

Coco_Clark Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 83% graduation rate here...this is a huge and much-lauded turn-around in my low-income district where 6 years ago one High school graduated a whopping 49% of their students (district wide was in the 60's).

Zuzu822 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 87%, with 52% graduating "college ready." College ready is defined by achieving a 75 or higher on the English Regents and 80 or higher on a math Regents exam. ETA: of the 470 graduates last year, 230 earned a Regents advanced diploma, 213 a standard Regents, and 27 a local diploma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Five years ago, only HALF of all economically disadvantaged kids graduated. That has jumped to somewhere in upper 80%. Total graduation % is 92%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Our high school graduation rate is 91% and of those, 78% go on to some sort of post secondary education. This includes all colleges, trade schools, and the military. Supposedly 42% who went on to college needed remediation classes in math and/or reading before being ready for college level work.

Renai Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I know for the district it is 64.9% for the two high schools in 2014, on time. This is a major improvement from just over 2-3 years ago when it was slightly above 50%. I just looked up the specific numbers and am surprised. Our zoned school, which is the worst as far as social environment (fights, gangs, etc.), actually has a higher grad rate than the other school with more classes and opportunities 68.5% vs 67.2%. There were other stats that surprised me, but I'll spare you the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotherOfBoys Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Ours is 79% graduate but only 44% are proficient in math according to our state standards. 25% attend 4 yr college 27% attend 2 yr college Wow, this is worse then I thought it would be.

OneStepAtATime Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Graduation rate of 74% Drop out rate of 5.4% However, "graduation" is a loose term here. They consider anyone who has passed the minimums to have "graduated" even though the bare minimums don't actually net you a High School Diploma, only a completion certificate. ETA: By 8th grade nearly 50% of the student population in 2012 was considered to have a reading and/or maths disability. 50%?!!! That doesn't mean they have a disability, that means the school system is failing a whole lot of kids, to my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I've no idea. One can legally leave formal education at 16 here, and the normal school leaving age for those going to university is 17, so there isn't a single measure of completion.

Dmmetler Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 92.6% graduation rate. The big district, before the split, was at 72%-which is one reason why the suburban districts broke off.

MistyMountain Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 75% which is slightly higher then the state average. 78% were proficient in math or reading.

Renai Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 No she doesn't. 38% graduation at the high school we're zoned for. That's no typo. One of the charter schools (one my dd attended for 7th) has a grad rate of 37.1%. But, I wonder if it's taken into account student transfers. I know a few families personally that transferred to a different school after one year attending there (we're one of them). If the student no longer attends there, then they didn't graduate there. So, does it only look like the school isn't graduating its students? Or, are they really not graduating over 60% of its students? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, are they really not graduating over 60% of its students? I would think that wouldn't include transfers. Because I know people are moving in and out of our district, and I know a few who were pulled to homeschool, or went to the tech school partway through - and our rate is still 99%, and for the Asian population it's 100% - surely it's not true that year after year not a single Asian kid moved out of town during high school... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 97.9% 4 year graduation rate but a 0% drop-out rate. Evidently the 2.1% take more than 4 years but do graduate. They've appeared in a few rankings in Newsweek, US News and World Report, NJ Monthly, etc. It's a school with about 750 students, 124 with disabilities, 5 economically disadvantaged, 2 language disadvantaged. It is a magnet high school for deaf students. Average composite SAT score 1728, 18 AP classes. Outperforms 94% of schools in the state, 84% of schools with similar demographics. It's why we plan to give our kids the option of going to high school. We know that this school works with students from out of district and previously homeschooled to place them properly.

Certainly a number of those kids move on. I do know that's only the "on time" graduation and that it rises a decent amount for kids who manage to graduate within 5 or 6 years, though it's still not great, obviously and I don't know the exact numbers on that. I suspect that, knowing this school, that they are genuinely not graduating that many kids. Citywide graduation rate is something like 64%. If we were to send my kids to school for high school (not the plan, but if) then we would apply to one of a few charters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
