COLUMBUS – The Ohio Department of Education released its annual school report card Thursday.
This is the second year schools and districts were assigned an overall letter grade.
The grade is calculated using six components: achievement, progress, gap closing, improving at-risk K-3 readers, graduation rate and prepared for success. They also receive a letter grade on each of those components.
Columbus City Schools received an overall grade of D. Last year, the district received an F.
“While our overall grade of a ‘D’ is certainly not the end goal, it does show improvement over last year and now allows us to focus on the long-term success of our District,” said Superintendent Dr. Talisa Dixon. “These efforts will begin this year with an educational visioning process with community stakeholders, which will lead us to create a new multi-year strategic plan.
“As we create this long-term vision, we are still focused on our priorities for this school year. Our focus will be to improve student outcomes in the areas of literacy, mathematics, and graduation rate. We are also looking closely at our assessments and benchmarks throughout the school year to ensure our students are on track and mastering our curriculum.”
