HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT RATES ARE DOWN AND THE PERCENTAGES OF STUDENTS GRADUATING WITH THEIR CLASSMATES ARE HIGHER THAN STATE AVERAGES. SAN LORENZO HIGH WAS AT THE TOP OF SANTA CRUZ COUNTY SCHOOLS WITH A 99 PERCENT GRADUATION RATE, APTOS HIGH WAS NEXT AT 97 PERCENT, AND WATSONVILLE WAS THE LOWEST WITH 86 PERCENT….WHICH IS STILL ABOVE THE STATE AVERAGES.
