Roswell High School Announces Increased Graduation Rate

Roswell High School is proud to announce an increase in graduation rates for the Class of 2021, which graduated 91.67 percent of the class this past May, up 3.4 percent over the previous graduating class.

Through the hard work of Roswell High School’s administration, faculty and staff, graduation rates have been steadily increasing. Roswell High School has implemented a number of programs to help students graduate on time, such as Saturday help sessions, review sessions, graduation coaching and teachers who have stretched to meet the unique needs of their students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While this rate does not yet reach Roswell High School’s goal of 93 percent, it is the highest rate for the school in the last five years.

“This increased graduation rate is the result of the work of our entire faculty and staff to get kids across the finish line,” said Shaw. “A higher graduation rate means more opportunity for kids to lead a full life and fulfill our new mission statement. The entire community can celebrate this achievement.”

Preparing students adequately for their lives after high school is one of the key tenets of the school’s new mission statement, “Roswell High School's mission is to create a positive and safe learning environment, to foster the development of each student's potential, and to provide pathways to success after graduation.”

According to the Georgia Department of Education, the average graduation rate across Fulton County Schools is 87.7 percent, which is among the highest rate for metro school districts.
