WDE MEDIA CONFERENCE TO DISCUSS 2021-22 GRADUATION RATES

CHEYENNE ? The Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) will host a virtual media conference at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, January 31, 2023, to discuss the 2021-22 Wyoming high school graduation rate. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder and WDE staff will be available to answer media questions.

Media may register in advance *here* [ [link removed] ]. After registering, participants will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the press conference.

*Full graduation rate statistics* [ [link removed] ] for the 2021-22 school year will be available Tuesday morning. Since the 2009-10 school year, the WDE has calculated graduation rates using the Federal Four-Year Adjusted Cohort methodology established by the U.S. Department of Education, which complies with federal law that requires all states to calculate graduation rates exactly the same. Students are counted in the four-year (or ?on-time?) high school graduation rate if they earn a diploma by September 15 following their cohort?s fourth year. Five- and six-year graduation rates are also calculated, and can be viewed with the rest of the graduation rate data.
