The Ohio General Assembly amended Ohio’s accountability law in the summer of 2021. Schools and districts now receive an overall rating and star ratings for five components. Additional information on the changes to the accountability system can be found on the Department's Report Card Resources webpage.

Report Cards are designed to give parents, communities, educators and policymakers information about the performance of districts and schools — to celebrate achievement and success and identify areas for improvement. The information provides clear and easily available reporting on student performance, drives local conversations on school improvement and identifies schools to receive supports for getting better. The goal is to ensure all students receive an excellent education that can lead to success in life, careers and future learning.

Report cards are only one part of the story about what is happening in schools and districts. To get a more complete picture, we encourage you to visit schools, talk to educators, parents and students, and review the school's or district's webpage. A lot of great things are happening every day in Ohio's schools!

The Ohio Department of Education uses data reported by districts and schools to analyze performance in several categories. These data are used to assess schools and districts in the six report card components: Achievement, Progress, Early Literacy, Gap Closing, Graduation, and College, Career, Workforce and Military Readiness. With the exception of the College, Career, Workforce and Military Readiness Component, the components receive 1-5-star ratings based on performance. Each district and school receives an overall rating of 1-5 stars based on these components.

Achievement Component: This component represents whether student performance on state tests met established thresholds and how well students performed on tests overall.

Progress Component: This component meases overall value-added progress. “Value-added” measures academic growth by looking at the current achievement compared to prior achievement results on Ohio’s State Tests.

Early Literacy Component: The Early Literacy Component measures reading improvement and proficiency for students in kindergarten through third grade. 

Gap Closing Component: The Gap Closing component shows how well schools are meeting the performance expectations for students in English language arts, math, and graduation.

Graduation Component: Used only for high schools, this is a measure of the four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate and the five-year adjusted cohort graduation rate.

College, Career, Workforce and Military Readiness Component:  This component is made up of 11 readiness measures that are used to estimate how prepared the graduating class from a district or building is to go on to postsecondary education, enter the workforce or join the armed forces. This rating will not be included until at least the 2024-2025 school year.
