The four-year graduation rate across the district is 90%, which is higher than the state average. However, the chronic absenteeism rate is a concern at 14.8%. Test scores vary significantly, with some schools, such as Skyline High School and Dutton Elementary School, outperforming the county and state averages, while others struggle.
