Graduation rates
Graduation rates refer to the percentage of students who successfully complete their educational program, such as high school or college, within a designated timeframe. For instance, a high school graduation rate of 90% means that 90 out of 100 students who started their education finished on time. These rates are important indicators of the effectiveness of educational institutions and can reflect various factors, including student support, curriculum quality, and socioeconomic influences. Higher graduation rates generally suggest a healthier education system and better outcomes for students, while lower rates may highlight challenges that need addressing.
