OCPS hits record-high graduation rate

With a record-high graduation rate of 96.1 in our 19* traditional high schools for the 2017-18 school year, Orange County Public Schools is encouraged by a 2.3 percent increase from the 2016-17 figures.
The Florida Department of Education released the 2017-18 graduation rates for the state, school districts, and high schools. Along with our record-high numbers, 17 traditional high schools earned graduation rates above 90 percent, and they were all above 86.5 percent. OCPS now outperforms the state average of 86.1 by 2.8 percentage points.
“Our graduation rates are a result of the hard work of our students, teachers, parents and principals. The increase reflects the vision of Orange County Public Schools, to be the top producer of successful students in the nation. We will always strive to improve our graduation rates as we prepare our more than 211,000 students for college and career,” Superintendent Barbara Jenkins said.
