Madison Superintendent Jennifer Cheatham (PDF):

his report presents high school graduation rates for the Madison Metropolitan School District. For additional information on graduation rates, see the Appendix.

For this report, we focus on a cohort of students expected to graduate at the end of the 2011-12 school year. For additional context and to track changes over time, we provide a three-year history for some measures. This report uses publicly available data from Wisconsin's Information Network for Successful Schools (WINSS). Additional data is available
through http://winss.dpi.wi.gov/. Key findings include the following:

1. Overall graduation rates improved almost one percent from 2011 to 2012, from 73.7% to 74.6%.

2. African American and Hispanic students have improved their graduation rates by five percent and almost seven percent over the last three years.

3. Graduation rates for students with Limited English Proficiency have improved about four percent over the last three years.

4. MMSD high schools have similar graduation rates, ranging between 74.7% and 82.8%.
