The Class of 2024 also had fewer students using waivers to earn diplomas. Waivers allow students who do not complete or pass certain graduation requirements to qualify for a diploma by demonstrating equivalent knowledge or skills. The non-waiver graduation rate rose to 87.53%, an increase of more than 2.5 percentage points compared to 2023.
