ORCA graduation rate rises to 80.2%, board hears
Summary
Board was told ORCA’s Class of 2025 four-year graduation rate is 80.2%, a 27-point increase over three years; district staff credited ORCA leadership and noted enrollment volatility affects funding.
During staff reports Superintendent Ms. Nieraeth highlighted ORCA’s Class of 2025 four‑year graduation rate at 80.2%, describing it as a 27‑percentage‑point increase over the past three years and praising Mrs. Galvin and the ORCA team for the improvement.
Nieraeth and district business staff also noted ORCA enrollment is volatile and that ORCA funding is tied to days of student enrollment, which makes the district’s payments estimates until figures are finalized. Board members asked questions about pass‑through percentages in the seven‑year contract with ORCA and were told percentages cannot be changed until contract expiration.
