Our Evidence Blast series provides evidence-based research, data, and resources to help practitioners and policymakers make important decisions about schools and students.
Schools, districts, and states in the Northwest are committed to increasing the number of students who graduate from high school ready for college and careers, but reaching this goal is a challenge. Four states in the region lag behind the national average in on-time graduation rates, with only Montana exceeding the national benchmark. In addition, distinct disparities in graduation rate by race/ethnicity and student group persist.
