In 2016, the country’s high school graduation rate hit an all-time high of 84.1%, according to new data released by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). It was the fifth straight year in which the graduation rate rose. The 2015 rate was 83.2%.

To come up with the graduation rate, the NCES measures the percentage of students in each freshman class that go on to earn a diploma. Greater than average gains were made by low-income and minority students. Black and ESL students gained around 1.8% over the previous year, while Hispanic and low-income students saw an increase of 1.5%. Students with disabilities also increased by almost 1%. However, white students were graduating in 2016 at a rate of 88%, which was still significantly greater than the 79% rate for Hispanics and 76% for blacks. Low-income students graduated at a rate of 78%.
