On April 25, 2023, the Minnesota Department of Education released the 2022 graduation rates. We are excited to share that we have made consistent gains in many areas and that Richfield High School’s four-year graduation rate (88.9%) exceeds the statewide graduation rate of 83.6% by 5.3 percentage points.
Highlights
- 88.9% graduation rate for students at Richfield High School (up 5.2 percentage points since 2019), including:
- 88.8% graduation rate for Latinx students (up 19.7 percentage points since 2019)
- 89.3% graduation rate for students learning English (up 24.8 percentage points since 2019)
- 87.3% graduation rate for students in the Richfield College Experience Program (up 60.5 percentage points since 2019)
The gains we have been consistently making are a direct result of the targeted, dedicated work of our teachers and support staff. Much of this work started in 2017 with Reimagine Richfield and our strategic plan, however, the continued success of our students can also be attributed to an increase in tracking student data and working in real-time to help students earn or recover credits. Combined, all of these changes have positively impacted student engagement and performance in Richfield Public Schools and the results can be viewed over the past four years.
