More San Diego Unified School District<\/a> high school students are graduating, and more of them are graduating prepared for life after high school, according to figures released Monday by the district.<\/p>\n

The announcement tracks the high school graduation rates for the 2024-2025 academic year, during which the class of 2025 graduation rate rose by 2% over the previous year. The college and career preparedness rate rose by 4.2% over last year, as measured by the state\u2019s College and Career Indicator.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is encouraging to see this level improvement, but we have a lot more work to do to ensure every student graduates from our high schools prepared to experience a choice-filled life,\u201d said SDUSD Superintendent Fabi Bagula. \u201cWe are constantly working to improve student outcomes throughout our district, and I attribute these modest rises in graduation rates and college and career readiness to our focus on real-time data monitoring, and collaborative support systems we have enacted to help students on their path to being future ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

While graduation rates improved, there was a slight downturn (0.9%) of students choosing SDUSD\u2019s career technical education path \u2014 one of three the district offers its students with the intention of improving their college and career opportunities post graduation.<\/p>\n

According to the California Department of Education<\/a>, career technical education \u201csignificantly increases the high school graduation rate and also results in a higher percentage of students going to college and persisting through graduation. High-risk students are 8 to 10 times less likely to drop out in grades 10 and 11 if they enroll in a CTE program instead of a general program,\u201d according to a statement from the district.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is going to be different going forward is because of a Golden State Pathways grant we\u2019ve received from the state of California, we\u2019re going to leverage the expertise of instructional coordinators who will be able to better guide our students and families as they decide if the CTE pathway is the right one for them,\u201d said Jen Roberson, executive director of the Office of Graduation at SDUSD.<\/p>\n
