Ohio School Report Card

Posted: 12/21/2015

Ohio School Report Cards are the beginning of a new era of greater accountability and higher expectations for Ohio’s schools. Moving to a system of A–F letter grades on a broader range of measures will make it clearer for educators, parents and taxpayers to see how their schools are performing.

This new reporting system also sets higher standards for what we consider to be a successful school and district. For too long, too many of our students have left school without a diploma or the skills they need to succeed. This new report card provides data to parents, communities and educators about the strengths of each school and the areas where they need improvement. This is the first step for real discussions and real change.

In 2015, we are assessing traditional and community schools on up to nine areas. By August 2015, we will assess school performance on 17 items in six categories. Overall grades for each school and district will also be issued in 2015. The measures focus on areas we know are essential to student success, and they pay close attention to the academic achievement of different student demographic and economic groups that were not specifically measured before.

If you would like to review your school district, or a school building within your district, go to the Ohio School District Report card webpage on the Ohio Department of Education's Website.
