Boston Public Schools 2019 Graduation Rate Report
Office of Data and Accountability
All four major race groups experienced overall increases in graduation rate over ten years. The African
American/Black, Asian and Latinx cohorts saw increases over ten years that were similar to the district’s increase
of 10.0 percentage points over the same time period. The White student cohort saw a smaller increase of 7.9
percentage points over ten years. Despite the overall positive trends, three of the four race groups experienced
a decline in graduation rate from 2018 to 2019. Moreover, achievement gaps continue to persist among race
groups, with Asian and White students having higher graduation rates compared to their African American/Black
and Latinx peers.
“Graduation rate” is absolutely meaningless. They just push them through regardless of whether they learned anything. The leftist school administrations tell the teachers to pass them and hand them diplomas.
