The Hays school board will hear a report about USD 489's success rate after graduation at its meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Rockwell Administration Center.
The data is based on the district's graduation rate and the number of students who have earned post-secondary degrees or certificates or are in school pursuing degrees two years after graduation.
It does not include students who enter the military or go directly into the workforce.
The state uses the data for district accreditation.
The latest data available is from 2020. The district's five-year graduation rate was down slightly in 2020 but slightly above 2016, 2017 and 2018.
The five-year success rate remained stable.
