2017 Ohio School
Report Cards Released
The Ohio Department of Education has released the annual Ohio School
Report Cards. Users can find the grades and other data for all schools
and districts, including community and other schools, at
reportcard.education.ohio.gov.
“In a highly competitive, quickly changing, global economy where
employers’ expectations are higher than ever, our students must be
equipped with the knowledge and skills that will make them lifelong
learners. With that in mind, there are many ways that parents and
communities gauge the success and improvement of their schools and
districts — the annual report card is one of them,” said Paolo DeMaria,
superintendent of public instruction. “Having set high expectations for
what our students must know and be able to do, our children and schools
are stepping up to the challenge. We’re seeing increases in achievement
across the state. I continue to be impressed with the dedication of
Ohio’s educators and our students’ desire to learn more and more.”
Districts and schools were graded on six components for the 2016-2017
school year. The components are Achievement, Progress, Gap Closing,
Graduation Rate, K-3 Literacy and Prepared for Success. Districts and
schools received A-F grades on each of the six components and most of
the individual measures. There are no new measures on the 2016-2017
report cards. More information about the components can be found here.
As a way to highlight the many successes and achievements of Ohio’s
school districts, the Department provided districts an opportunity to
add a link to a webpage of content that describes their unique
qualities and successes.
In 2015, Ohio lawmakers extended “safe harbor” provisions to give
students and schools time to adjust to the new standards and tests. The
2016-2017 school year is the last year these provisions are in place.
