The Special Education Ratings will be out Mid-October
Every year, districts and community schools in Ohio receive a federally required rating on the performance of their special education program, known as the Special Education Rating.* The Ohio Department of Education (the Department) calculates this rating using final Education Management Information System (EMIS) data, which results in one of four possible ratings — Meets Requirements, Needs Assistance, Needs Intervention or Needs Substantial Intervention. Ohio receives an annual rating from the U.S. Department of Education based on the same four categories.
The 2023 Special Education Rating is primarily based on final special education program data for the 2021-2022 school year. The Special Education Profile received in January 2023 includes the data used to calculate the rating. The 2023 Special Education Rating is targeted for release in mid-October 2023.
The overall rating calculation will include only compliance indicators, just like last year. The department will also provide a projected rating which includes all the same indicators plus results, specifically indicators 1 and 2.
These results indicators will be included in the overall rating beginning in 2024. For more information visit the department's website HERE.
