District reports graduation rate rises to 90.9 percent
Summary
Superintendent (as addressed) reported the district's 2024 graduation rate rose nine-tenths of a point to 90.9 percent — the fourth consecutive annual increase, according to the meeting presentation.
At the Jan. 14 meeting a district administrator reported that the Lamar County School District’s graduation rate rose nine-tenths of a percentage point to 90.9 percent for the cohort counted in the state release, marking the fourth consecutive year of increases.
The administrator said the figure reflects last year’s seniors who are counted in this year’s graduation-rate calculation. The speaker characterized the increase as progress toward the district’s goal of graduating students and preparing them for postsecondary opportunities.
The board received the report as part of the superintendent/administration update; the meeting record does not show additional action or funding tied directly to the graduation-rate announcement during this session.
