- CCSD graduation rates are consistent with statewide trends.
- Providing high-quality Tier I instruction and Tier II and III interventions for students through MTSS and effective monitoring tools for guiding student progress should help with increases in the four-year graduation rate.

- Most grade ranges observed little improvement year-over-year in projected proficiency in SBAC and ACT
- Exceptions to that rule included English Language Learners, whose progress is slightly decreasing.
- Note: 2020-2021 assessments were completed remotely due to COVID, and participation rates were lower.
- Academic rebounding continues but student achievement is lower than pre-pandemic levels and will likely take years to recover fully.
