Graduation Rate of Students Who Attended High School in Five Consecutive Years
What does this measure?
This indicator measures the five-year graduation rates of students in Orange County, New York, who attended high school for five consecutive years and received Regents, Regents with Advanced Designation, or local diplomas. The data presented is from 2019 and includes the total number of students in each district who were part of the five-year graduation cohort, along with the percentage who graduated. This measure helps capture students who may not have graduated within the traditional four-year timeframe but completed their education within an additional year.
Summary Statement
The data shows high five-year graduation rates across most districts, with several—such as Tuxedo Union Free School District, Florida Union Free School District, and Cornwall Central—achieving 97% or higher. Port Jervis City School District and Newburgh City School Districts reported lower graduation rates at 83% and 74%, respectively, indicating areas where students may face greater challenges in completing high school, even with extended time. The absence of historical data and lack of percentage change limit trend analysis, but the 2019 data reflect that most districts are successfully supporting students toward graduation, even beyond the traditional timeline.
