For each public school and school district, the department shall calculate a unique graduation rate progress goal that results in all students meeting the graduation rate by the 2032-2033 school year. To achieve that long-term goal the department shall set interim goals at the five-year mark and ten-year mark. The interim goals must be set so that, by the 2024-2025 school year, each school and each subgroup of students attains the same graduation rate as the fiftieth percentile school from the 2017-2018 school year. The department shall set unique graduation rate progress goals for each school and each subgroup to attain the 2017-2018 school year graduation rates of the seventy-fifth percentile school by the 2029-2030 school year. Following the 2024-2025 school year, the department shall reset goals and targets to reach the performance level of the seventy-fifth percentile school from the 2017-2018 school year. Following the 2029-2030 school year, the department shall again set annual targets to reach one hundred percent of students meeting the graduation rate.
