Grady High School Graduation Rates

We'd like to see everyone at Grady graduate on time!  Plus, we'd like to see all students go on to college and then on to meaningful careers. 

For the 2009-2010 school year, Grady High School reported a 91.6% graduation rate.  That's well above the APS average of 66.3%, the Georgia average of 80.8%, and the national rate of 69%.   Now, we've learned that the new superintendent,  Erroll Davis, has just ordered an audit of graduation rates after the discovery of 18 APS students who were incorrectly coded as graduates.

Also, the state has changed their reporting method to be consistent with other states and some fear the new graduation rate will not look as favorable.

Nationally, 70.1% of high school grads enrolled in college (in 2009).
