(St. Paul, MN) — Minnesota’s high school graduation rate dipped slightly in 2021. Just over 83 percent of seniors graduated on time last year.
That’s a drop of a half-percent from 2020. Minnesota Education Commissioner Heather Mueller says the class of 2021 is the first graduating class that experienced a full year impacted by the pandemic.
Black high school students reversed the trend with a one-percent increase overall.
High school seniors who identify as two or more races also posted gains of about one percent during the last school year.
