PORTLAND, Ore. — After years of setbacks because of the covid pandemic, a new report shows more high school students are graduating in four years across Oregon. Oregon saw its second-highest on-time graduation rate ever in 2022. It went from 80.6% in 2021 to 81.3% last year. "We are pleased we are not totally satisfied until every single student is walking across the stage. So, clearly, we still have work to do," said Portland Public Schools (PPS) Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero. Guerrero sat down with Brenda Braxton on this week's episode of Straight Talk and said these numbers are promising but still need some work.
