Take A Peek Behind Indiana’s High School Graduation Rate
The national high school graduation rate is at an all-time high: 81 percent. In Indiana, that number falls closer to 87 percent, as of 2013 – the Hoosier state ranks 7th in the nation in terms of how many students leave high school with a diploma in hand.
But, how Indiana accounts for its high school grads – and what the diplomas look like here – might be drastically different from the calculation used in Florida, Michigan or New Jersey. Our colleagues with NPR’s Education team compiled data from all 50 states to compare how they determine high school grad rates – take a look, and decide for yourself whether Indiana is among “the good, the bad or the ambiguous.”
