Michigan’s most recent high school graduation and dropout rates didn’t change much from the year before.
The four-year graduation rate was 79.65 percent in the 2015-16 school year, down slightly from the school year before.
The dropout rate was 8.91 percent, down from 9.12 percent.
The data was released by the Michigan Center for Educational Performance and Information.
The group’s director says while the graduation rate dipped slightly, more students are continuing their high school education past the traditional four years rather than dropping out.
