For the first time, Virginia schools are reporting precise on-time graduation rates. The statewide rate for the Class of 2008 was developed by tracking the progress of students who started as freshmen in 2004 and calculating the share who graduated this spring with diplomas. Here are the graduation rates for local school systems:

Alexandria 76.2

Arlington County 81.9

Falls Church 97.6

Fairfax County 91.2

Loudoun County 92.6

Manassas 74.5

Manassas Park 85.1

Prince William County 82.8
