High school graduation rates across the Baltimore metro area exhibit a stark urban-suburban divide, with central Baltimore zip codes—particularly those south and west of downtown—falling below 70%, while surrounding suburban areas in Howard County near Columbia and Ellicott City, as well as northern Baltimore County near Towson, consistently exceed 90%. The lowest-performing clusters concentrate in a corridor running through inner-city Baltimore, where several zip codes dip into the 50–65% range, contrasting sharply with the bright yellow zones in the northern and western periphery that approach near-universal high school completion. Notably, the eastern fringes of the metro also display moderate graduation rates in the 75–85% range, suggesting a gradient effect radiating outward from the urban core.
