<p>I looked up some stats, graduation rates in our state is 69% and our county 63%. Our HS is considered the best in the county, but still “seems” to have graduation rates of about 75%. Notice how graduation rates differ from the dropout rates. I know that the principal charged my daughter who headed the peer tutoring program for the NHS, to keep dropout rates below a certain percent with a party as a reward. No party, so I guess goals were not reached. </p>
<p>I’m curious to know what other county/school/state graduation rates are. It certainly is a more important statistic than how many vals a school has. Should I start another thread?</p>
