Ohio Department of Education
Prepared for
Success Component
The Prepared for Success component looks at how well we are equipping
Ohio’s students to take advantage of future opportunities.
Just graduating from high school is not enough. The ultimate measure of
a school’s quality is how well prepared its students are for what comes
next.
What's New this Year?
Districts and schools will receive A-F letter grades on the Prepared
for Success component for the first time this year.
How do districts and schools earn Prepared for Success grades?
A Prepared for Success letter grade is based on how well the students
performed on these six measures:
PRIMARY MEASURES
A district earns 1 point for every student who earns any of the
following:
College entrance exam remediation-free scores* (18 for ACT English, 22
for ACT math and 21 for ACT reading; or 430 for SAT writing, 520 for
SAT math and 450 for SAT reading)
An honors diploma; or
12 points through an industry-recognized credential or group of
credentials in one of 13 high-demand career fields.
If a student achieves more than one of the above, the district still
earns 1 point for that student.
BONUS MEASURES
For every student who earns 1 point plus one of the following, a
district earns 0.3 additional points:
Advanced Placement tests – Scores 3 points or more on at least one test;
International Baccalaureate tests – Scores 4 points or more on at least
one test;
College Credit Plus – Earns at least 3 credits.
If a student achieves more than one of the above, the district still
earns 0.3 point for that student.
How is the Prepared for Success letter grade calculated?
Add the total points the district earned on the six measures, then
divide that number by the total number of students in the adjusted
classes of 2014 and 2015. The maximum points possible are 1.3 per
student. Here’s what the the letter grade calculation looks like...
