Five of the six high school districts topped the state's 2015 rate.
When it comes to graduation rates, most Warren County high school districts are ahead of the curve.
The New Jersey Department of Education on Wednesday released graduation rates for 2015, showing 89.7 percent of the students statewide who started high school in 2011 graduated within four years. It's a five-year high, according to the state.
Five of Warren County's six high school districts surpassed that average, and all appear to have remained fairly steady in their graduation rates over the last four years.
The county's highest 2015 graduation rate was Warren County Technical School at 95 percent.
At 87.88 percent, Phillipsburg was the only district in the county below the 2015 state average. But it was also the only one to increase its graduation rate since the previous year.
Statewide, the graduation rate has increased over the last four years.
