Students in the Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) pathways of the Bibb County School District had a graduation rate of 97.83 percent for the Class of 2020. This exceeds the state average of 97.18 percent for CTAE students and the overall District graduation rate of 76.1 percent.

CTAE students from each of the District’s six high schools graduated at rates of at least 95 percent. Northeast High School led the way with a 100 percent graduation rate for CTAE students, followed by Howard High School at 99.25 percent and Rutland High School at 98.97.

“Career Technical and Agricultural Education makes education relevant and essential for all students. When students participate in CTAE, they are more likely to walk across the stage for graduation,” said Dr. Cassandra Washington, Executive Director of CTAE and CEO of Hutchings College and Career Academy.
