MN Department of Education Shares 2017 Graduation Rates

This week the Minnesota Department of Education released data which shows progress in increasing the 4-year, on-time graduation rate for Duluth Public Schools:

• Denfeld High School’s graduation rate increased from 73.86 in 2016 to 80.36 in 2017.

• Duluth East’s 92.94 graduation rate outperforms the state average of 82.68.

• Graduation rates for most student groups increased

• The district’s overall 4-year, on-time graduation rate increased from 75.13 in 2015-2016 to 76.04 in 2016-2017.

• The district’s 5-year graduation rate was 78.03, the 6-year rate was 80.95, and the 7-year rate was 80.67.

We appreciate everything you do to help students graduate on time! The work we’re doing to use data and collaboration to identify what each students needs and providing that support will continue. While this is good news there’s much yet to do to ensure all students have an opportunity to be successful and graduate on time.

Note that Minnesota is using a new method for calculating graduation rates. All rates dating back to 2011-2012 have been recalculated so they are comparable from year-to-year. These changes are a part of the state’s transition to its approved plan under the new federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
