High school graduation rates at schools overseen by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) have reached a record 79%, up from just over 50% in 2015, driven by improved data reporting and local initiatives such as expanded career and technical education. BIE officials said standardized graduation tracking introduced in 2018 has produced more accurate reporting by eliminating errors that previously counted transferred students as dropouts. At the same time, many tribally operated schools have introduced programs that better align with students’ interests and career goals. At Washington’s Chief Leschi Schools, for example, graduation rates rose from 53% in 2019 to 87% in 2025 after the school expanded career-focused learning, while Choctaw Central High School maintained a virtual learning option that administrators said helped increase graduation rates. Despite the gains, tribal leaders and education advocates warned that ongoing federal changes, including the transfer of Native education programs to the BIE, staffing reductions, and broader restructuring under the Trump administration, could strain the agency’s resources and jeopardize future progress. They are calling for greater stability, increased funding, and stronger consultation with tribal governments to ensure continued improvements in Native American education.
