COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – School has been back in session for a few weeks across Ohio. Schools across the state though have received its evaluations for 2022-2023 as report cards were posted Thursday morning by the state’s Department of Education.
This is the second year in a row the report cards for Ohio schools use star-based scores – on a scale of one to five – instead of letter scores from A to F. A three-star rating meets state standards, a five significantly exceeds them, and a one “needs significant support to meet state standards.”
A state law was passed in 2021 to overhaul the system after two years of report cards were skipped because of the COVID-19 pandemic. When they initially returned in 2022, the Ohio Department of Education removed overall ratings for schools and districts. However, the 2023 edition brought them back.
