We have made significant investments in our high schools over the last several years, and we expect our graduation rates to continue to climb. Our work will not be done until each student graduates ready for life beyond high school. We believe we will get there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>North Side and South Side high schools had the largest graduation rate increases with gains of 8 and 8.5 percentage points, respectively, and all high schools now have more than 80 percent of students graduating.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These graduation rates are further evidence that our students have distinguished themselves from those urban districts whose failures dominate the national media and pop culture&#8221; said Mark GiaQuinta, President of the FWCS Board of School Trustees, speaking on behalf of the FWCS Board. &#8220;We congratulate our teachers and administration whose hard work continues to show such promising results. Our outgoing Board members can take pride in this improvement as the incoming Board accepts the challenge of maintaining the district&#8217;s momentum.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>School &#8211; 2010 Grad Rate<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong><\/strong>Elmhurst &#8211; 81.6%<br \/>\nNorth Side &#8211; 83.3%<br \/>\nNorthrop &#8211; 88.5%<br \/>\nSnider &#8211; 89.7%<br \/>\nSouth Side &#8211; 83.6%<br \/>\nWayne &#8211; 81.3%<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/90573.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The 2009 Parnell Avenue Memorial Day Parade on May 25, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='0367d95cb9b151bdca003b1d49e6fdbb' data-image-id=\"2067\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/90573.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/thumbs\/thumbs_90573.jpg\" data-title=\"Elmhurst High School Marching Band\" data-description=\"The 2009 Parnell Avenue Memorial Day Parade on May 25, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Elmhurst High School Marching Band\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Elmhurst High School Marching Band\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"2067\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/thumbs\/thumbs_90573.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/100113.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Northrop High School band marching band in the Three Rivers Festival Parade on July 11, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='0367d95cb9b151bdca003b1d49e6fdbb' data-image-id=\"3226\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/100113.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/thumbs\/thumbs_100113.jpg\" data-title=\"Northrop High School band\" data-description=\"The Northrop High School band marching band in the Three Rivers Festival Parade on July 11, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Northrop High School band\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Northrop High School band\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"3226\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/thumbs\/thumbs_100113.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/99937.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Wayne High School Marching Band in the Three Rivers Festival Parade on July 11, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='0367d95cb9b151bdca003b1d49e6fdbb' data-image-id=\"3334\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/99937.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/thumbs\/thumbs_99937.jpg\" data-title=\"Wayne High School Marching Band\" data-description=\"The Wayne High School Marching Band in the Three Rivers Festival Parade on July 11, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Wayne High School Marching Band\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Wayne High School Marching Band\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"3334\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/thumbs\/thumbs_99937.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/99939.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Wayne High School Marching Band in the Three Rivers Festival Parade on July 11, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='0367d95cb9b151bdca003b1d49e6fdbb' data-image-id=\"3335\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/99939.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/thumbs\/thumbs_99939.jpg\" data-title=\"Wayne High School Marching Band\" data-description=\"The Wayne High School Marching Band in the Three Rivers Festival Parade on July 11, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Wayne High School Marching Band\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Wayne High School Marching Band\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"3335\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/thumbs\/thumbs_99939.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/fwcs\/wendy_with_kids_2007.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Fort Wayne Community Schools Superintendent Dr. Wendy Robinson.
