To qualify as a School of Promise, a building must meet these criteria:

  • Serve at least 40 percent economically disadvantaged students.
  • Eighty percent or more of students in grades that took the 2013-2014 Ohio Achievement Assessments and Ohio Graduation Tests must have rated Proficient in reading and math, including economically disadvantaged and racial subgroups.
  • Score an Ohio School Report Card grade of A or B on their Annual Measurable Objective, to narrow performance gaps between student groups.
  • Receive an A, B or C on student learning progress through the school year and a grade of A or B on high school graduation rate, if they were high schools.
HIGH PROGRESS SCHOOLS of HONOR:

Summit County: Rimer Community Learning Center and Ritzman Community Learning Center, Akron Public Schools

High Progress Schools of Honor are buildings that have made the greatest five-year gains, although they may still have work to do to achieve at the level of High Performing Schools of Honor.
