Today, the percent of jobs in Kansas only requiring a high school degree or less is just 29%. To give students the best possible chance for success, Kansas schools must not only increase the number of students graduating high school, but increase the number of students graduating with the skills and attributes needed to be successful.
The High School Graduation Star Award recognizes those districts with graduation rates above the state average, with the highest recognition for those districts at or above 95%.
Riverside USD 114 was recognized at the GOLD level because our graduation rate is over the 95% state goal.
Great job, teachers, staff, and students, on attaining this goal!
