High School Graduation Profile
In 2013, Texas passed HB5, which established the Foundation High School Program, replacing the prior requirements. Since passage of HB5, on-time high school graduation rates have increased universally across the state, rarely falling below 90%. Even with these changes, students have unequal access to supports and resources that impact their likelihood of high school graduation, leading to disparities in graduation rates by gender, household income, and race. Factors like chronic absence and high mobility impact graduation rates, even when students experience them in middle and early high school.
