GRANT COUNTY — Grant County saw some encouraging numbers and some that could cause concern following the Oregon Department of Education’s report on graduation rates for the 2022-23 graduating class.
The county as a whole saw a graduation rate of 64.2% compared to the statewide average of 81.3%. The graduation rate alone doesn’t tell the entire story however.
Four of the county’s five brick-and-mortar schools exceeded the statewide graduation average with Monument leading the way, reporting a 100% graduation rate for the 2022-23 school year. Grant Union (89.7%), Prairie City High School (85.7%) and Dayville (85.7%) all exceeded the statewide graduation rate for the 2022-23 school year.
