| Abstract: | On January 9, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) released high school graduation rates for the State of Florida and the School District of Palm Beach County. The fiscal year 2024 (FY24) Federal High School Graduation Rate includes standard diplomas but excludes special diplomas and General Education Diplomas (GEDs). Students with Disabilities (SWD) on Access Points curriculum are working to earn a standard diploma and are included as graduates, if successful. It should be noted that due to COVID-19, assessment requirements for graduation were waived for FY20 and FY21 seniors (Emergency Order No. 2021-EO-02) who had yet to meet those requirements. In FY24, the District's overall graduation rate was 92.1%. The District's overall graduation rate continues to exceed the state average and the six other large urban school districts in Florida. When comparing FY24 to FY20, the District's graduation rates increased overall and for each subgroup. The tables in this summary provide five-year (FY20-FY24) historical summaries, including graduation rates for: (1) Florida, the District, and six other large urban school districts; (2) Black, Hispanic, White, English Language Learner (ELL), Free or Reduced-Price Lunch (FRL), and SWD students; (3) District-operated and Charter schools; and (4) District-operated high schools, Charter high schools, and Alternative schools, respectively. |
