Education KPIs

In a recent press release, the  Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein announced that New York City’s four year high school graduation rate rose to all time high of 63 % in 2009.

“After a decade of stagnation, New York City’s graduation rate has increased for eight consecutive years” said Mayor Bloomberg. “And not only are more students graduating than ever before, but the number of students dropping out has been cut nearly in half in just the past four years alone. We won’t be satisfied until every student graduates from high school, but our City’s principals and teachers deserve enormous credit for the significant progress we’ve made.”
