WASHINGTON – Atlantic 10 Conference student-athletes and institutions equaled league record with a 95 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR). The league set a new record for number of teams with a perfect 100 percent GSR with 122 programs at the top of the metric in the latest data reported by the NCAA Wednesday.
 
The league-wide 95 percent GSR equals last year’s mark and places the A-10 in second place among all conferences. The 122 perfect programs tops the record of 119 set in 2022.
 
The Atlantic 10 was eighth in men’s basketball with an 89 percent GSR and seven programs recording perfect scores. The league was tied for 14^th in women's basketball with a 90 percent GSR, supported by eight teams with perfect scores. The A-10 also tied for the fifth-highest GSR in baseball with a rate of 96 percent as well as four perfect teams.
 
Davidson and Richmond had league-high rates of 98 percent, followed by Fordham and George Washington at 97 and Saint Louis at 96 percent. Duquesne had an overall GSR of 97 percent. Davidson, Dayton and George Washington all recorded institutional rates of 96 percent to round out the top five rates.
 
Davidson paced the A-10 behind 12 sports with a perfect 100 percent mark, followed by Richmond with 11 and St. Bonaventure with 10. Duquesne, George Mason and Saint Joseph’s had nine perfect programs each. Overall, 13 of the A-10’s 15 member institutions year boast a GSR at or above the national GSR average of 90 percent.
 
Women's soccer represented the highest number of perfect teams among all A-10 sports, with 12 schools earning perfect scores. There were 11 programs in men’s golf and 10 perfect scores in women’s tennis.

The GSR measures graduation over six years from first-time college enrollment. The NCAA Division I Board of Directors created the GSR in response to Division I college and university presidents who wanted data that more accurately reflected the mobility of college students than the federal graduation rate.
