School District of Palm Beach County
In FY18, School District of Palm Beach County (SDPBC) outperformed Florida and five other large urban school districts for the fifth consecutive year (FY14-FY18), and has consistently increased the graduation rate, including from FY17 to FY18. District operated school students exceeded the Board's Strategic Plan goal of 90% by posting a graduation rate of 91.7%. Additionally, over the last two years, graduation rates for Black students and Hispanic students increased by 9.2 points and 5.2 points, respectively. This memorandum provides statistics for federal high school graduation rates in Florida and more specifically concentrates on the SDPBC.
