High‑school presenters report 100% in‑building graduation; freshmen‑on‑track rises to 92%
Summary
High‑school presenters told the board the school saw a 100% graduation rate for in‑building seniors and reported freshmen‑on‑track improved to 92% after new intervention and credit‑recovery programs.
High‑school presenters told the Winston‑Dillard School District 116 board that every senior who remained enrolled in the building met the district’s graduation criteria this year. “We had a 100% graduate,” the presenter said, noting that the district’s in‑building count differs from the state cohort measure.
The presenters attributed the outcome to targeted interventions including a freshmen success period, grade‑level professional learning communities and partnerships such as the Sunrise School Success program. They said freshmen‑on‑track — defined as earning roughly one‑quarter of required credits in ninth grade — reached 92% by year end, up from about 88% the prior year. The presenters said the approach includes daily intervention time for credit recovery and teacher‑led pullouts, and they asked the board to continue supporting professional development to sustain gains.
