NIAGARA FALLS, NY — Niagara Falls High School's graduation rate was well below the New York State average until 2023 when it increased from 67% to 85.5%. Niagara Falls School District Superintendent Mark Laurrie told 7 News that the increase is due to the high school's focus on programming that the students want to learn through vocational training and credit recovery classes. "We put creative programming in place that speaks to the fact that every one of these 2,000 students is in a different learning spot and needs a different program," said Laurrie.
