Des Moines Public Schools officials are celebrating a 5% increase in the schools' 2025 graduation rates.

The twist? Officials don't know what led to the bump, which followed several years of graduation rates holding steady at around 72%.

Officials plan to review at least five years of budgets, curriculum and programs — including ones related to credit recovery — in an attempt to pinpoint what led to graduation rates rising from roughly 71% in 2024 to more than 76% for the class of 2025, Interim Superintendent Matt Smith told the Des Moines Register.
