Saint Paul Public Schools Four-Year Graduation Rate in 2022

On April 25, 2023, the Minnesota Department of Education released the class of 2022’s graduation rate. In SPPS, 75% of the class of 2022 graduated in four years; down 1 percentage point from 2021 (76%). American Indian, Black, and students receiving special education services experienced increases compared to 2021, while Asian, Hispanic, and white students saw decreases. The 2022 graduates were sophomores when schools closed and began distance learning, they started their junior year in distance learning, then transitioned back to in-person in spring 2021. Needless to say, these students experienced much upheaval and uncertainty during their high school years.
