IREDELL COUNTY, NC — Graduation rates are up for three Iredell County high schools, Iredell-Statesville Schools reported. Gains were reported at North Iredell High School, Statesville High School and West Iredell High School, as well as for the entire Iredell-Statesville School district for the 2019-2020 school year. Graduation rates weren't up across the board, however. Lake Norman High School, South Iredell High School and Career Academy and Technical School all saw dips in graduation rates. "While we are happy to hear that our graduation rate is up across Iredell-Statesville Schools, we realize that anything less than 100% means that we still have work to do," Superintendent Jeff James said in a statement. "The 2020-2021 school year will be a critical year to make sure that we are connecting with our students and keeping them engaged." According to ISS-provided data, here are the 4-year graduation cohort rates for the state, school district and its high schools: North Carolina 2019-20: 87.6 percent 2018-19: 86.5 percent Iredell-Statesville Schools 2019-20: 89.1 percent 2018-19: 87.7 percent Agriculture and Science Early College, Olin, NC 2019-20: 100 percent 2018-19: — Career Academy and Technical School, Troutman, NC 2019-20: 84.6 percent 2018-19: 87.9 percent Collaborative College for Technology and Leadership, Statesville, NC 2019-20: 100 percent 2018-19: 100 percent Crossroads Arts and Science Early College, Statesville, NC 2019-20: 100 percent 2018-19: 100 percent Lake Norman High, Mooresville, NC 2019-20: 92.6 percent 2018-19: 94.1 percent North Iredell High, Olin, NC 2019-20: 90.6 percent 2018-19: 84.9 percent Pressly School, Statesville, NC 2019-20: 67.3 percent 2018-19: 66.1 percent South Iredell High, Statesville, NC 2019-20: 90.2 percent 2018-19: 90.3 percent Statesville High, Statesville, NC 2019-20: 84 percent 2018-19: 82.9 percent West Iredell High, Statesville, NC 2019-20: 85.3 percent 2018-19: 82.5 percent
