Clark County School District increased its high school graduation rate last year.
The district’s graduation rate for the Class of 2022 was 81.3%, up from the Class of 2021’s 80.9%, according to data compiled by the Nevada Department of Education.
“These results are a testament to the hard work of our teachers, support professionals and administrators throughout the pandemic to ensure our students received a high-quality education,” CCSD Superintendent Jesus Jara said in a statement today announcing the rate. “Our top priority is to ensure that all students graduate college- and career-ready. As we continue working to improve academic outcomes, we will see improved graduation rates as a result.
Six CCSD high schools achieved a 100% graduation rate last year: College of Southern Nevada High School East, College of Southern Nevada High School South, East Career and Technical Academy, Indian Springs High School, Northwest Career and Technical Academy and Sandy Valley High School.
Another nine schools posted a graduation rate over 95%: Advanced Technologies Academy, College of Southern Nevada High School West, Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, Moapa Valley High School, Palo Verde High School, Southeast Career and Technical Academy, Southwest Career and Technical Academy, Veterans Tribute Career and Technical Academy and West Career and Technical Academy.
CCSD’s Class of 2021 graduation rate was the district’s lowest since 2016, making last year’s improved rate another example of the district’s continued recovery since returning to in-person learning full-time.
The Class of 2022 was CCSD’s largest ever, with 25,212 graduates.
