Wisconsin graduation rate increases in 2011

More than 90 percent of Wisconsin high school students graduated last school year, with slight increases for most minority groups though they still lagged behind rates for white students.

The state Department of Public Instruction reported Thursday that graduation rates in 2011 were 90.5 percent. That’s up six-tenths of a percentage point from the 2009-2010 school year.
