Atlanta Public Schools’ four-year graduation rate reached 84% for the class of 2022, according to state numbers released Thursday.

That’s up from 83.1% for the class of 2021.

Statewide, the graduation rate also increased slightly this year to 84.1%. That’s the highest mark its reached since the Georgia Department of Education started using a new, federally mandated way of calculating the rate a decade ago.

APS officials said this is the closest the district’s graduation rate has been to the statewide average. Superintendent Lisa Herring cited the students’ work amid the COVID-19 pandemic and online learning.

“It shows that our students, schools, and staff can achieve strong outcomes even amid adversity. This is truly a proud moment for our district,” she said, in a written statement.
