The Ministry today released information on the District’s graduation results from last year. In BC this rate is usually called the Six-Year Completion Rate. It is defined by the Ministry as follows:
The Six-Year Completion Rate is calculated by using the percentage of students who graduate within six years from the time they enroll in Grade 8, adjusted for migration in and out of BC. A six-year rate provides students with an extra year beyond the five years required to move through Grades 8-12.
Sooke students have been on a steady climb for the last five years, especially Boys and Aboriginal learners. I am very pleased to announce that the 2010-11 school year was our best results ever. This year we have seen increases of 4% overall and significantly higher for Boys and Aboriginal students.
Thanks and congratulations to all the teachers and staff who have supported students through their public schooling. Check out the results below in the attached document. – Jim Cambridge
