There is progress in Camden's troubled school system.

Paymon Rouhanifard, the state-appointed superintendent, announced Thursday that the graduation rate rose from 49 to 64 percent. And the dropout rate fell from 20 to 15 percent.

All sub-groups of students have improved.

Latino students’ graduation rate, for instance, has increased from 44 percent in 2012 to 66 percent in 2015, and special education students’ graduation rate has increased from 38 percent to 56 percent.

Meanwhile, special education students’ dropout rate has fallen from 21 percent in 2012 to 11 percent in 2015.

“This hard-earned progress reflects the efforts of our students, staff, and families,” said Rouhanifard. “At the same time, there’s more work still to do.”
