Utah 2019 Graduation Rates
Utah State Board of Education
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires the state to calculate a four-year cohort rate. Utah implemented the federally defined cohort graduation rate in 2008. The graduation rate for the 2019 cohort includes all students who started ninth grade in the 2013-14 school year, plus students who transferred into the Utah public education system after ninth grade. Students in the cohort have four possible final outcomes: (1) Graduate; (2) Continuing student; (3) Other completer; and (4) Dropout. Highlights from this report include the following: (1) Utah's state graduation rate for the 2019 cohort is 87.4%; (2) The "Asian" race/ethnicity group had the highest graduation rate (91.4%) of all reported student groups; (3) A total of 42,098 students graduated from Utah's high schools; and (4) Utah's graduation rate has increased from 84.7% in 2015 to 87.4% in 2019.
