One percentage point. That's all that remains of the gap between graduation rates for African-American students and all students in San Diego Unified.

In April the district announced it was on track to hit a record graduation rate among large California districts: 92 percent overall. Data released Friday shows San Diego's African-American students will graduate at about that same rate — 91 percent — essentially closing the achievement gap when it comes to graduation.

The rate for Latinos has also risen — 88 percent, from 85 percent in 2015.
