Oregon’s graduation data for the class of 2020 is out, and the state’s graduation rate has increased for another year. The state’s four-year graduation rate is 82.6%, up more than 10 points from six years ago.
The state’s five-year completion rate, which includes students who earn GEDs or modified diplomas, was 87.2% in 2020, another all-time high.
The data shows an increase in graduation rates for specific student groups, including African American students — up almost 6%, and Latino students — up 3%.
One of the largest gains was with the state’s homeless students, whose grad rate rose to 60% in 2020, an increase of five percentage points.
