Adjusted cohort graduation rate (ACGR) for public high school students, by state: 2016–17

Based on the statistics from NCES, it appears that Wisconsin Graduation rate is higher than Minnesota, by six percent.

If Minnesota increased their graduation rate by 6%, it would mean that about 3,980 additional students would graduate from Minnesota’s high school, (comparing graduation rates in 2017).

That is a significant number. Having researched Minnesota’s educational
statistics, I believe that breaking down state numbers available on the
Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) and outside rating sources would enable the reader to determine the facts.

Education research always yields new information. Researching Minnesota’s Education showed a lack of program monitoring to determine whether the program was performing as intended. It also showed a glaring difference between policy and scientific research.

Statewide numbers do not show what was happening. Digging deeper into
statistics from a region, and then comparing side by side districts was the
one way to understand.

In this comparison between Somerset School District and Hudson School
District, it became apparent some landowners wanted to switch from one district to the other. Watching videos of board meetings exposed startling revelations on how one board handled the issues.
