For the last 50 years the rate has been flat at 75%.



Since 1970, the high school graduation rate for 17-year-olds has remained flat



In the mean time College graduation rates went up. I couldn't find 1975-present college graduation rate.

Tom - do you remember what % of your graduating class went to college?

Of a class of 113 graduates, 100% went to college from my school.
