State: Grad rates up, dropout rates down

LANSING, Mich. (WOOD) — More students are graduating in Michigan as fewer of them drop out of school. Both rates improved by about one percent in the last school year. ​

Graduation rates last year were 80.64 percent, they rose to 81.41 percent. It’s less than one percent increase but state officials say it represents a huge difference for hundreds of high school students crossing the stage on graduation day.
