Florida sets new high school graduation record for recent graduates

The Florida Department of Education set a new record high of high school graduates in the 2022-2023 school year.

According to state records, 88% of high school students graduated in the last school year, which was an increase of 0.7 points over the previous year.

It is the highest graduation rate ever, with the exemption of the pandemic school year (2019-2020 and 2020-2021) because those years were exempt from assessment requirements, according to officials.
