More students completing school remains priority

More students are graduating from high school, but there is wide disparity in graduation rates depending on where a person lives. For the nation, the graduation rate for the 2013-14 school year was at 82 percent, up almost a percentage point from 81 percent the previous year, and was the highest rate since the Education Department began using a new, uniform measure in 2010.
