Data released by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) show Ferguson-Florissant School District's graduation rate continues to stay higher than than state average with 92% of the Class of 2022 earning a diploma within four years of entering high school. The District's graduation rate is above the Missouri average of 89.7%. This continues the upward trend of increasing graduation rates over the last six years.

The continued improvements are due to several factors, including an intense focus on graduate readiness and the deep commitment and collaboration of our families, teachers, administrators, counselors, social workers, and so many others in FFSD focused on supporting our students in earning their diplomas.

There is still more work to be done, but today we acknowledge the remarkable achievements of our students and the dedication of so many in FFSD who are focused on supporting our students. Learn more.
