#JCPSDataPerformance | From the time every kindergartner walks through the doors of the school for the first time, the ultimate goal is for each one to walk out a graduate. That commitment remains at the heart of Johnston County Public Schools, and the district’s continued improvement in its graduation rate proves that to be true.

Graduation rates continued to improve during the 2025-2026 school year, with JCPS reaching an outstanding 92.6%, compared to the state rate of 88.8%.

A graduation rate that exceeds the state average is a significant accomplishment, and it reinforces JCPS’s commitment to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed and graduate prepared for college, careers, and life beyond high school.

This achievement reflects the collective efforts of our entire school community to provide the high-quality education students need to reach graduation and prepare for their next chapter.

#JCPSDataPerformance | Johnston County Public Schools is proud to celebrate that 91% of JCPS schools earned a letter grade of A, B, or C during the 2025-2026 year, compared to 76.6% of schools statewide. School letter grades provide a broad measure of academic performance, reflecting how well students are performing on state assessments and the academic progress demonstrated within each school.

Having 91% of our schools earn an A, B, or C is a meaningful accomplishment that demonstrates the strength of academic performance across JCPS and reflects the hard work of students, educators, school leaders and families. This success is further supported by the fact that 73.5% of JCPS schools met or exceeded growth expectations, with four schools ranking among the top 20% of schools statewide for academic growth.

Together, these results demonstrate the continued progress taking place across our schools and reinforce JCPS’s commitment to providing students with the high-quality education they deserve.

#JCPSDataPerformance | The newly released data for the 2025-2026 school year has many great data points. One ranking among the most impressive is that JCPS has a performance composite of 61%. This composite score ranks the highest performance composite score under the current accountability model.

The overall performance composite is a measure that reflects the percentage of students who demonstrate grade-level proficiency on state assessments across tested subjects and grade levels, providing a broad picture of academic performance across the district.

This ranking reflects the hard work of our students, educators, school leaders, families and community partners who are committed to improving student achievement and academic growth. While we celebrate this accomplishment, JCPS remains focused on moving Forward and continuing to raise expectations and outcomes for every student.
