The Byron-Bergen Senior High
School class of 2018 achieved a 100% four-year graduation rate. The 2018
graduating class earned thirty-six Regents Diplomas with Advanced Designation,
thirty-seven Regents Diplomas without Advanced Designations, and five Local
Diplomas.
“This is a commendable accomplishment,” said District Data Coordinator Sue Riggi. “I work with numbers all day and 100% is not a statistic I often see.”
This statistic encompasses
all students enrolled in the High School from their Freshmen year, as well as
all students who transferred to the school any time before graduation. Students
who transferred to another school district or an alternative placement within
the district, such as BOCES, are not included in the statistic.
“We are very proud of this achievement,” said High School Principal Pat McGee. “It is a rare accomplishment for a school of this size and really highlights the dedication of our students, faculty, and staff.”
In the 2017
graduation year, no schools in Genesee County achieved a 100% graduation rate.
Over the previous ten years, Byron-Bergen Senior High School has had an average
of graduation rate over 90%. The district-wide graduation rate for the 2018
graduation year, including alternative placement and homeschooled students, is
98.8%. The results will appear on the New York State 2019-2020 Report Card that
will be published spring of 2020.
