Statistics show that for the past three years, students in Montgomery County High Schools have fallen by 1% for the past three years.

There were increases in graduation rates among Black Students and two more races of students with limited English proficiency.

Groups that experienced graduation rate decreases, included White, Hispanic, Asian and recipients of special education services.

 

But in spite of this bad news for Montgomery County, the four-year graduation rate is ahead of the national average, which is 84%.  The percent of students who graduate in five years is higher, about 90%.
