Technically a graduation rate is the number of students who complete their education within a defined time period after first attempting college. Often these statistics are broken down into gender and ethnicity. Your schools graduation rate is available from the registrar’s office. It may also be available here, nces.ed.gov/ipeds/. Exploring this may be enlightening for you concerning your progress through school. But, be aware. The only graduation that really counts is yours. No matter what your gender, ethnicity, age or physical condition you can complete your education. Six years, seven years, eight years it. It takes what it takes. Just graduate, baby.
