Ratings for components will be on a 1 through 5-star scale. The 2022 Guide to Ohio School Report Cards provides an overview and explanation of these key components.
Find the report cards and other data for all districts and schools, including community schools, on the Ohio School Report Cards webpage.
With the 2022 Ohio School Report Card data just being released, the State Support Team Region 1 has an informative professional development series called Digging Into Data planned that will help you understand the new report card, dig deeper into various sources of data available to all schools and how that data can be used to identify critical needs and make decisions that will have a positive impact on student achievement. There is a virtual session on October 6, 2022 so sign up now. Additional information can be obtained by downloading the flyer.
