WJCC’s Class of 2025 posted a Federal Graduation Indicator (FGI) of 91.2% and a cohort completion rate (CCR) of 96.9%; the division reported growth in AP enrollment, qualifying AP scores, CTE completers and industry credentials and presented student success stories from three high schools.
District staff presented a profile of WJCC’s Class of 2025, focusing on federal and state indicators and college‑ and career‑readiness metrics.
Doctor Worley summarized graduation measures: the class began with a cohort of 985 students; WJCC’s Federal Graduation Indicator (FGI) was 91.2% (compared with the state rate cited at about 90.9%), and the cohort completion rate (CCR) was 96.9%. Worley explained that FGI counts standard and advanced diplomas earned within four years, while CCR includes applied studies diplomas, GEDs and five‑year completers.
Staff highlighted increases in advanced programming: AP course enrollment rose (27% growth over three years) and qualifying AP scores increased 65%, and 1,799 AP exams were administered in the 2024–25 school year across the division. Career‑technical education saw notable growth (CTE completers up 104% over five years and New Horizons enrollment up 68%); industry credentials earned by students increased by 28% from 2020–21 to 2024–25.
Principals from Jamestown, Lafayette and Warhill shared individual graduate stories that illustrated different post‑graduation pathways: college enrollment, skilled trades, and enlistment in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Board members asked about subgroup gaps in graduation metrics and about tracking postsecondary outcomes; administrators said the division collects self‑reported intended plans and sends final transcripts to confirm enrollments, and that the district will consider using national clearinghouse tools to better track college persistence.
