High School Cohort Graduation Rate

What does this measure?

The number of students graduating on time (after four years of high school), as a percentage of their cohort. The cohort is the class of ninth-graders beginning high school together.

Why is this important?

High school graduation is the culmination of a successful K-12 education and the gateway to college or employment. Students who do not graduate face the prospect of unemployment or low-paying jobs.

How is the region performing?

The region's 87% graduation rate for the class of 2024 was similar to the state rate (excluding NYC). The graduation rate was highest in Putman County (93%) followed by Columbia, Greene, Orange and Ulster (all at 87%). Graduation rates have increased 8 percentage points in the region, up from 79% in the class of 2009.

Graduation rates were lowest in Poughkeepsie City (55%), in Dutchess, Liberty Central in Sullivan (68%), and Livingston Manor Central in Sullivan (69%). The highest rates (95% or higher) were Germantown Central in Columbia (100%), New Lebanon Central in Columbia (100%), Cornwall Central in Orange (97%), Haldane Central in Putnam County, Highland Central in Ulster (both at 96%, Warrick Valley Central in Orange, Spackenack Union in Dutchess, Putnam Valley in Putnam, Washingtonville Central in Orange, Hunter-Tannersville central in Greene, and New Paltz Central (all at 95%).

Notes about the data

Data for earlier years were not comparable because cohorts were not tracked in the same way. These figures reflect graduates in August, which includes students who made up courses during summer and graduated. The state also presents the figure for graduates in June.
