The on-time high school graduation rate is one of the indicators that measure students' progress towards readiness for college and the workforce.
Compared to 2014, most student groups saw an increase in on-time high school graduation rate. Among them, Native American students led the progress with a 7.6 percentage point increase in the graduation rate from 2014 to 2019.
