The preliminary data from our upcoming state report card looks great for Loveland City Schools. The official report card will not be released until September 15, 2022, but the district should receive five stars in every graded category.

Letter grades on the state report card have gone away, replaced by a 1-5 “Star” rating system. Individual schools are not rated overall this year but will be next year as the new report card system is implemented across Ohio.

Here are our preliminary results:

• Achievement: 5 Stars

• Early Literacy: 5 Stars

• Gap Closing: 5 Stars

• Graduation Rate: 5 Stars

The areas of “Progress” and “College, Career, Workforce, and Military Readiness” are not yet rated on the report card but will be implemented in the next few years. We are already positioned to do well in those areas. Our Loveland Tiger Pathways program, which focuses on career development, internships, and business partnerships is already very successful with students.

Our College and Career Counselor, Drews Mitchell, has been doing great work in the district, helping guide students through career exploration, and connecting them with real-world opportunities.

He shares great information on Twitter, which you can find by following this link.
