We Is Getting Smarter!

Go ahead and give yourself a big round of applause, you've earned it!  The graduation rate has climbed - AGAIN! This is the 5th straight year in a row we have seen an increase!  The news gets even better - there was significant progress for all reported groups of students, including students of color, low-income students, students with disabilities, and English learners.  Across the board our children are learning more, retaining more, and are more dedicated to getting their High School Diplomas.

And it goes well beyond High School - over 100,000 engineers are graduating yearly from American universities for the first time.  That means our push for better STEM programs is paying off! Check out the official stats by clicking here!

According to NOLA.com - The State of Louisiana is also clocking a personal best of 75%!  That brings our growth streak to 4 years in a row!

So pat your kids on the back and get them a Slurpee or something. They've been working hard!
