Okaloosa County School District’s graduation rate jumps to 91%

The school district saw a 3.3 percentage point increase from the previous year.

The Okaloosa County School District’s graduation rate rose to 91% for the 2024-2025 school year, up from 87.7% the year before.

  • District officials credit the improvement to student support systems, diverse academic pathways and engagement strategies designed to keep students on track for graduation.

“We are incredibly proud of our students and educators for this significant growth in Okaloosa County’s graduation rate,” Superintendent Marcus Chambers said. “Increasing from 87.7 percent to 91 percent in just one year reflects the hard work, perseverance and commitment of our students, the dedication of our teachers and staff, and the strong partnerships we share with families and our community.”

The increase aligns with Florida’s continued upward trend in graduation outcomes, according to the District.

Chambers said the school district remains focused on ensuring every student graduates prepared for success beyond high school. The district plans to expand opportunities that promote academic achievement, career readiness and postsecondary success for all students.
