Official graduation rates are not released until nearly a year after most students have graduated. The state of Minnesota released the graduation rates for the 2022-23 school year in April of 2024. The 2023 graduation rate for the state of Minnesota was 83.3% (58,293 graduates), which represents a 0.3 percentage point decrease in the four-year graduation rate compared to the class of 2022. As a district we saw our graduation rate remain steady for 2022-23 at 93.2% after the big increase from 91.9% in 2020-21 to 94.1% in 2021-22. In addition, we have another 4.1% of the class of 2023 that are continuing to pursue their FHS diploma.

"Our staff across the district, and specifically at Farmington High School, have worked to prepare and support our learners through their entire K-12 experience to get them to this milestone. As shared many times, our target is (and should be) a 100% graduation rate with no gaps between groups of learners. We are not there yet, but this continues to be very encouraging,” Superintendent Berg shared regarding the most recent ISD 192 graduation rates.
