Subject: Graduation rates

There hasn’t been a press release from the district yet, but the 4-year and 5-year graduation rates have been posted

[url=http://www.chatham.k12.nc.us/central_office/instructional_services/accountability_ncwise/data/abcs_ayp/abc2010_2011/Cohort%20Grad%20Rate.pdf]http://www.chatham.k12.nc.us/central_office/instructional_services/accountability_ncwise/data/abcs_ayp/abc2010_2011/Cohort%20Grad%20Rate.pdf[/url]

I’m concerned by these numbers. In 2008, for the 4-year rate, Chatham was at almost 80%, 9.6% higher than the state average. Now we are at 74.3%, which is 2.6% lower than the state average. It is disturbing that our graduation rates are declining (this year was 0.1% higher than last year) while the state is improving. The 5-year numbers are similar.  In 2008, for the 4-year rate, Chatham was at 77.8%, 6.0% higher than the state average. Now we are at 77.1%, which is 0.6% lower than the state average.
