Iowa Department of Education releases dropout rates by district

Kate Allt:

The Iowa Department of Education released the dropout rates for the state's districts from 2010 to 2011.

Reform has been the word when it comes to education in Iowa the past few months, with the governor's plan to reform the state's system.

Statewide, the graduating class of 2011 saw a decline of less than one percent in the graduation rate from the previous year.

In Southeast Iowa, rates varied for four-year cohort graduation rates, with over 96 percent of students graduating from the Van Buren School District and just over 86 percent in Fairfield.
