Earlier this summer, the Ohio Department of Education released the results for the Spring 2011 Grades 3-8 Ohio Achievement Assessments (links to locate OAA scores can be found on this OCESS blog post). This week, ODE released the annual Ohio Report Cards (press release), which grade schools and districts using a range of indicators, including OAA scores. Coverage in the media includes:
- Akron Beacon-Journal: “Some districts still exceed growth expectations despite tougher standard“
Canton Repository: “Stark schools make the grade on state report cards“ - Cincinnati Enquirer: “CPS takes issue with state’s grad rates“
- Cleveland Plain Dealer: “Northeast Ohio school districts move up and down in Ohio report card rankings“
- Columbus Dispatch: “School results improving on state report card“
- Dayton Daily News: “School results improve on state’s report card“
- Toledo Blade: “Toledo Public Schools holds ranking; test scores move up“
- Youngstown Vindicator: “State plans to toughen academic standards“
District and school report cards can be viewed on the ODE website and through a Columbus Dispatch database.
