IREDELL COUNTY, NC — Graduation rates are up for three Iredell County high schools, Iredell-Statesville Schools reported. Gains were reported at North Iredell High School, Statesville High School and West Iredell High School, as well as for the entire Iredell-Statesville School district for the 2019-2020 school year.

Graduation rates weren't up across the board, however. Lake Norman High School, South Iredell High School and Career Academy and Technical School all saw dips in graduation rates.

"While we are happy to hear that our graduation rate is up across Iredell-Statesville Schools, we realize that anything less than 100% means that we still have work to do," Superintendent Jeff James said in a statement. "The 2020-2021 school year will be a critical year to make sure that we are connecting with our students and keeping them engaged."
