Milton-Freewater SD 7 reports 1,531 enrollment and a 97% graduation rate
Summary
Staff reported a monthly enrollment estimate of 1,531 students and highlighted a 97% graduation rate for the cohort, saying the district ranked fifth in the state among districts meeting the 50-graduate threshold and noting subgroup rankings for students experiencing poverty and migrant students.
Board staff reported an enrollment estimate of 1,531 students for the district and reviewed recent state- and federal-level funding context. Staff said federal Title programs were level-funded and that the state economic forecast came in slightly better than predicted.
The presenter highlighted the district's graduation metrics: for the second consecutive year the district reported a graduation rate above 95%, specifically a 97% rate for the 4-year cohort under the state's comparison rules for districts with at least 50 graduates. Staff said the district ranked fifth in the state by that measure and provided subgroup placements: students experiencing poverty tied for first, migrant students tied for first, English learners tied for first, and students with disabilities ranked roughly sixth at 94.4%.
Board members asked how many additional graduates would be needed to reach 100%; staff explained cohort-size math and transfer issues can make 100% unattainable in practice. The presenter stressed the district's ability to track individual students and highlighted efforts to work with outside agencies to remove students from enrollment records when appropriate.
