“This remarkable accomplishment is a testament to the dedication and commitment of our entire high school community—students, teachers, administrators, counselors, academic coaches, and families alike,” said Charles Edwards, BCSC Director of Secondary Education. “We strongly believe in our cohort model at the high school level. These results are proof of the successes that come from forming strong relationships with students and investing in their futures.”

BCSC’s high school cohort model pairs each student with a consistent group of school staff, including an assistant principal, counselor, and academic coaches, who all work together in the same space to serve the same group of students throughout their high school years. This is the third consecutive year the corporation’s graduation rate has grown by more than two percentage points. BCSC surpassed the state average of 91.8%, the highest rate in state history. 

“Graduating students is one of BCSC’s seven strategic focus areas,” said Dr. Chad Phillips, Superintendent. “I am proud of our staff, students, parents and administrators for working together to achieve academic success. Thanks to their hard work and the support of our community, hundreds of additional young men and women have a high school diploma today. These results show that student outcomes are a top priority at BCSC.”
