These Are The 100 N.J. School Districts With Best Graduation Rates, And More

What percentage of your high school’s students managed to earn their diplomas last year?

The New Jersey Department of Education released the latest graduation rate totals on Wednesday, showing that 2015 was the fourth straight year that New Jersey’s high school graduation rate increased. It’s also the third consecutive year in which it grew by at least a full percentage point, DOE officials stated in a news release.

“The graduation rate is defined as the percent of students who graduated from secondary school with a regular diploma in the standard number of years, which in most cases is four but could be three or two,” the DOE states on its website.
