WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. Special to WPCNR from Michele Schoenfeld. June 21, 2012 UPDATED June 23, 2011:
Thursday the White Plains High School held its annual graduation ceremonies at the Westchester County Center. They have earned the distinction of having the highest graduation rate in years: 88%, according to the Clerk of the Board of Education, Michele Schoenfeld.
Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Christopher Clouet, in a statement to WPCNR Saturday about the significant improvement, wrote:
"The economy is helping more students to focus on the need to complete high school. That in addition to the fine teaching staff and various methods we have in place to support students is helping us to achieve a graduation rate above the state and national average."
Schoenfeld told WPCNR, "Of the 537 total students who began the school year (2011-12) as seniors, all but 65 of them are going to graduate this evening. That means that 88% of this year's seniors will graduate."
The graduation percentage is up sharply from the 81% of 2010-11 and the previous year before that, 75%.
