2021 Graduation Rates Released
The Walton County School District has achieved a graduation rate of 92.7% with all three high schools surpassing 92%. WCSD has increased its graduation rate for the fifth consecutive year and surpassed the state of Georgia by nine percentage points.
 
“Congratulations to the Class of 2021 on this impressive accomplishment,” said Superintendent Nathan Franklin. “This is the result of a districtwide initiative and reflects the hard work of our students, parents, teachers, support staff and leaders from pre-k through 12th grade. I am proud of our continued growth in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic as we have worked hard as a team to remain open and offer our students safe in-person learning opportunities.”

The 4-year cohort method is based on the number of students that graduate within four years plus one summer and includes adjustments for student transfers. The 4-year cohort data since the inception of the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) is below.
