Indiana State Representative Jack Jordan (R-Bremen), in a news release, said, “Indiana's class of 2025 set a new state record for the high school graduation rate, marking the third consecutive year of improvement.” According to the Indiana Department of Education, nearly 92% of Indiana seniors graduated in 2025, an increase of 1.6 percentage points from the previous year.

Jordan said graduation rates increased across every student population, reflecting continued progress among students with varying educational needs and backgrounds. Graduation data is used by families, educators, and policymakers to assess school performance, identify achievement gaps, and guide decisions on academic programs across the state. It represents another milestone in Indiana's K-12 progress, which includes third-grade literacy growth, ranking 6th nationally for 4th and 8th grade reading, and improved chronic absenteeism rates. Jordan thanked the hardworking teachers, parents, and students for committing to educational success.
