Report cards out, Dayton last in Ohio again
The good news is Dayton schools somehow managed to escape “academic emergency” on its state report card this year, but still raked last in Ohio for test performance. Meanwhile three northern valley schools were among the fastest gainers in test performance.
The state added a new wrinkle to the report cards this year, pushing districts up a level if test scores grew enough. For top rated districts who also made their growth targets, there is a new top category of “excellent with distinction.” There are 73 Ohio districts in that category but none in academic emergency and only nine in the whole state in academic watch.
I am not sure why Ohio keeps the emergency rating it the worst rated district in the state does not end up there. And academic watch only has nine districts? The scores don’t suggest we’re doing that well.
