INDIANAPOLIS - Six area school corporations’ graduation rates were above the state’s average.
Indiana’s class of 2025 marks the third consecutive year of improved graduation rates and sets a new state record, with nearly 92% of Indiana seniors graduating high school. This is up 1.6 percentage points from the class of 2024, according to a news release from the Indiana Department of Education.
“Today’s record-high graduation rate is a testament to the hard work of Indiana’s students, families and educators,” said Gov. Mike Braun. “While high school graduation marks the end of a student’s K-12 journey, our schools play an essential role in preparing students for all that comes next, whether that’s going to college, starting a career or joining the military. This strong improvement in our state’s graduation rate shows that when we focus on academic excellence and establish clear, personalized pathways, our students thrive.”
