Mount Diablo Unified School District's graduation rate ran approximately 86%, relatively flat over five school years -- a real, solid district-wide figure. However, individual schools within the district can run meaningfully lower (Mt. Diablo High School specifically is cited at approximately 78%), a real, disclosed nuance worth researching at the specific-school level.
