Mobile County Public School System officials this morning announced its 2014 student graduation rate was 82 percent, an increase from last year’s 75 percent.

According to MCPSS Superintendent Martha Peek, the initial goal was to see the four-year, on-time graduation rate reach 80 percent by 2020. However, today’s announcement “is just a milestone” that puts the Mobile County school system six years ahead of the community-wide initiative.
