In plain words

The share of public-school students in districts 61, 62 and 63 who graduate within six years of starting Grade 8, combined from the Province’s counts. Each district and B.C. are shown as lines.

How we decide “About the same this year. Better over 5 years.”

The change is 1.0% of the earlier value, below the 5% threshold. Over 5 years (since 2019/20) the change is 5.6% of the earlier value, at or above the 5% threshold, so the label also says Better over 5 years.

A higher rate means more students graduate within six years of starting Grade 8. 91.1% in 2024/25 against 90.2% in 2023/24, and 86.3% in 2019/20. B.C. public schools: 92.5% in 2024/25.

Outcome measures read Better, Worse or About the same; published government targets read Ahead of, On or Behind target; value-judgement measures read Rising, Falling or Steady in a neutral colour. A change smaller than the agency's own margin of error, or otherwise smaller than 5% of the earlier value, is About the same (or Steady). No change is calculated across a marked break in a series. The rule.

Keep in mind

Why it matters. Finishing high school is one of the strongest signs of how schools serve students.

  • The Province’s six-year completion rate: students who graduate with a Dogwood (or Adult Dogwood) diploma within six years of first starting Grade 8, adjusted for students estimated to have moved out of B.C.
  • Combined here for the three districts as the sum of successes divided by the cohort less the estimated out-migration, using the Province’s own counts. It is not an average of the three district rates.
  • Public schools only. Residents of B.C. only, as the Province publishes it.
  • The Province calls the result an estimate, because out-migration is estimated.
  • Formula with the latest numbers: (1297 + 812 + 599) ÷ ((1512 + 954 + 736) − (102.728 + 79.269 + 48.95)) = 2,708 ÷ 2,971.1 = 91.1%.
