Earlier this week, the NYS Education Department released graduation rates for the 2014 cohort, or students who first entered 9th grade in 2014.
We are thrilled to share that Cairo-Durham's graduation rate was 89% in 2018! This figure is an 8% improvement from 2017, and well above the New York State average of 80 percent.
This also puts Cairo-Durham's grad rate in the top 1/3 of all districts within our BOCES region (which includes 22 schools). We are extremely proud of this achievement by our students and staff.
Furthermore, Cairo-Durham's 2018 graduation rate is on par with several larger suburban districts in the Capital Region, including South Colonie (89%), Saratoga (90%) and Shenendehowa (91%).
With the bar set high, the District will continue to set and reach new goals focused on continuous improvement and the success of all our students.
