SFPS is a District on the Move!

Beginning in 2016-17, SFPS increased the rigor for students to graduate from high school. Though graduation rates dipped initially, students stayed the course and reached the higher standard. In 2018, the overall graduation rate increased by 4.1%. Congratulations to our students and teachers! We are so proud of their accomplishment. See the data here.

SFPS has Statistically Significant Rates of Growth Over the Last Three Years and Outpaces State Growth on 2019 SBA Transition Scores. Some Schools Grow as High as 9%. VIEW RESULTS HERE

In addition to the excitement of a new year, my heart is filled with gratitude for the voters of Santa Fe County. Read entire letter here.
