On Monday, the Tennessee Department of Education released 2022-23 graduation data for the state, including local school districts and individual schools. The data reveals that, at 90.6 percent, Tennessee has reached its highest recorded statewide graduation rate since 2012.
Davidson County’s graduation rate falls lower than the statewide average at 81.2 percent. This figure is slightly lower than Davidson County’s 2021-22 overall graduation rate of 81.6 percent. The number varies, however, among different student groups. Foster students, homeless students and those who are English learners have the lowest graduation rates both locally and across the state. Students of color also graduate at a rate lower than their white peers. Statewide and local figures for various categories are listed below. Additional data can be found on the TDOE’s website.
