News Release

(Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2019) — While we welcome any sign of slight progress in the Rochester City School District, it is disturbing that over the past five years the increase in graduation rates are almost exclusively attributed to local diplomas, which the State has been asking districts to phase out. We know that many of our children are not leaving the District ready for college or a career, and it is incumbent upon all of us to fight for true change on their behalf.
