The White House announced earlier that US high school graduation rates for the 2014-2015 school year was the highest number on record at 83.2%, although significant disparities still exist between groups of students.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, every group -- from race to low-income students to those with disabilities -- had increases in graduation rates, although the numbers vary from group to group.
