An administrative law judge has rejected a request by some parents to change Perth Amboy High School's graduation back to the evening.

"Pomp And Circumstance" has been playing across the Great Garden State over the last few days...its graduation season!

The Garden State’s high school graduation rate increased from 83% in 2011 to 86% in 2012, the second year the state is using new federal methodology for calculating the graduation rate. Meanwhile, School Improvement Grant (SIG) schools undergoing intensive turnarounds with the support of the New Jersey Department of Education on the whole made significant gains over the past two years.

More and more schools are banning cheering at graduation ceremonies. Arrests have been made and diplomas have been withheld over this. Yes, being happy for one of your kid's greatest accomplishments is now being frowned upon by the school system...

College students who are getting their diplomas this month should have a bit of an easier time getting a job than their recent counterparts, but it's still going to be tough.
