State sees rise in high school grad rates
State education officials say Georgia’s high school graduation rate is up to its highest level ever. Schools superintendent Kathy Cox says for this year, the final graduation rate hit 75.4 percent--that's a bump of 3 percentage points from last year. The numbers are part of the state’s final Adequate Yearly Progress report. It shows 80 percent of state schools met testing goals required by the No Child Left Behind Act.
