CCSD celebrates increase in Class of 2024 graduation rate

Graduation rates reported by the Georgia Department of Education began using an adjusted cohort calculation in 2011.

With that, the Class of 2024 graduation rate rose to 93.4%, 8 percentage points higher than the state average of 85.4%. This year’s graduation rate is also an all-time high for the CCSD since 2011, and Evans High School and Lakeside High School also reported their highest rates since 2011. 

The dedicated staff of the CCSD works hard to encourage students to engage in their education and graduate on time. Through developing and implementing the CCSD’s Academic Curriculum for Excellence (ACE) and enhancing the CCSD High School Experience, students have learning options that begin in middle school with opportunities to earn high school credit. In high school, students can enrich their academic experience through a growing number of CTAE pathways and work-based learning opportunities, dual enrollment, advanced placement course offerings, the IB Diploma Programme, and athletics and fine arts programs.

Overall, this outstanding accomplishment is a picture of the hard work and dedication of our staff, students, and their families. Congratulations, to the graduating class of 2024.
