D93 says graduation rate rose to 93.5%; attendance challenge runs through Nov. 20

IDAHO FALLS - Bonneville Joint School District 93's graduation rate rose to 93.5%, more than 10 percentage points above the state average, Superintendent Scott Woolstenhulme wrote in the district's Nov. 12 family update. The share of kindergarten through third grade students needing intensive reading support fell from 20% to 11%, he wrote.

Last year, 93% of the district's K-3 students showed positive growth in reading, according to the update.

The district's Healthy Attendance Challenge runs through Nov. 20. The district says reaching its goal of raising attendance by two percentage points districtwide looks unlikely.

Preliminary numbers through Nov. 10 show 3,010 students improved their attendance by at least two percentage points over last year. Another figure shows 5,728 students had attendance of 99% or better.

Students should keep working toward their own attendance goals to stay eligible for a Disneyland vacation drawing, the update says. The district said it will share more details in next week's family update.
