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 88% graduation rate for the class of 2022 was similar to the state rate (excluding NYC). The graduation rate was highest in Putman County (94%) followed by Columbia and Orange (both at 89%). Graduation rates have increased 9 percentage points in the region, up from 79% in the class of 2009.

Graduation rates were lowest in Poughkeepsie (60%) in Dutchess, Eldred in Sullivan (67%), and Ellenville in Ulster (72%). The highest rates (95% or higher) were Haldane Central in Putnam Central (98%), Germantown Central and New Lebanon Central in Columbia (both at 97%), Cornwall Central in Orange, Kinderhook Central in Columbia, Wallkill Central in Ulster and Mahopac Central and Putnam Valley Central in Putnam (all at 96%), and Washingtonville Central in Orange (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.
