Ugly But, Apparently True: Local Graduation Rates
Well, as promised, the Indiana Department of Education has released graduation rates under its new formula on a school by school basis. Richmond comes in at 54%. Not too encouraging. Most other local public schools, like Northeastern, Centerville and Randolph Southern come in over 80%, above the state average of 76.5%.
The rate for the entire Richmond Community School Corp is closer to 50%, so our schools are graduating about 1 out of every 2 kids.
