These results affirm the power of persistence, teamwork, and a relentless belief in every student\u2019s ability to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the highlights of the 2025 4-year graduation cohort report:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Economically Disadvantaged Students: 90.39%, above the state average of 86.0%.<\/li>\n<li>Hispanic Students: 85.21%, above the state average of 82.3%.<\/li>\n<li>White Students: 92.62%, above the state average of 89.5%.<\/li>\n<li>Black Students: 85.71%, slightly below the state average of 86.7%, but reflecting a significant increase from Hall\u2019s 2024 rate of 81.6%.<\/li>\n<li>Students with Disabilities: 84.07%, a remarkable gain from 73.1% in 2024, and well above the state average of 78.4%.<\/li>\n<li>English Learners: 79.35%, up from 69.9% in 2024 and well above the state average of 72.7%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning, Suzanne Jarrard, emphasized the importance of sustained progress across all groups:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese gains, particularly among our students with disabilities, English Learners, and Hispanic students, are worth celebrating. They represent years of hard work, intentional focus, and a deep belief that all students can achieve at high levels,\u201d Jarrard said. \u201cAt the same time, our mission remains clear\u2014Character, Competency, and Rigor for All. We will continue striving to close gaps and ensure that every student leaves Hall County Schools prepared for success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The graduation rate remains one of the district\u2019s key indicators of success, reflecting commitment to academic excellence and the vision of being the most caring place on earth for students and families.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The HCSD is proud to announce a 4-year cohort graduation rate of 88.49% for the 2025 school year, surpassing the newly released state average of 87.2%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":3326,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
