Last school year, 1,381 seniors – more than 20 percent of San Diego Unified’s class of 2016 – took an online version of a course required for graduation. Roughly 92 percent of them passed. It’s an impressive pass rate. And it was crucial for the class of 2016. That group ended up setting the highest graduation rate on record. They achieved that even as the first class to be subject to far more rigorous graduation requirements. Researchers had predicted it would be impossible, in fact, for the class of 2016 to graduate at the rate they did. But the academics hadn’t factored in the new online courses that would quickly allow students to catch up.
