Graduation rates released

While 81.3 percent of Virginia's students graduated high school on time,  79.3 percent of Montgomery County's students graduated on time, according to results the state released today.

The state's results followed a group of students who entered 9th grade in 2004, in what they say is the best picture of a true on-time graduation rate. Their formula is approved by the National Governors' Association.

You can see a complete list of the rankings here, and read more about them in tomorrow's paper.

About this blog

Anna Mallory

Welcome to Chalk Dust! This is your community aimed at exploring education in the New River Valley. I'm Anna Mallory. I went to public schools in West Virginia and now I cover PreK-12 education for the Roanoke Times.
I read way too many reports about improving schools and can speak in entire sentences using educational acronyms. I'll be letting you know about issues and events affecting your children, schools and tax dollars, but, more importantly, I want to know what you think. Let me know your opinions about issues in the boardroom, classroom and beyond.
