This afternoon Superintendent Rick Surrency led a virtual discussion on ‘Implementing an Equitable Approach to Increase Graduation Rates’ to a group of Superintendents from across the nation.
What an honor to have School Districts from all over the United States look to Putnam County as a role model in Graduation Rate improvement.
In 2015, PCSD’s graduation rate was an astonishing 54.9%. Since implementing our Graduation Initiative, putting in place systems of support, and by increasing awareness around timely graduation, we saw drastic improvements to our graduation rate beginning in 2016. We proudly boasted an 86.3% graduation rate in 2019. Our target goal for 2020 is 90%.
As we look toward the future, we are optimistic that our District staff, students, and parents will continue striving for excellence by setting high expectations in student performance, and graduation rates.
