School district report cards from the Ohio Department of Education for the 2021-2022 school year are in, giving parents and community members valuable information on student and school performance.
Districts receive star ratings for five components - achievement, progress, gap closing, graduation and early literacy.
Report cards this year will not include an overall rating, but one will be added when the 2023 report cards are released in the fall of that year, according to ODE.
ODE interim superintendent of public instruction Stephanie Siddens in the state's report card said the last several years have been unpredictable for students, families, teachers and schools.
Data on the 2021-2022 Ohio School Report Cards highlight signs of academic recovery but also acknowledge some of the challenges that remain, Siddens said in the report.
ODE officials in the report noted that while important, district report cards are only one part of the story of what is happening in local schools and districts. Parents and community members are encouraged to visit schools and talk to educators and administrators.

The Ohio Department of Education's school district report cards are graded on a one- to five-star rating system spanning five components - achievement, progress, gap closing, graduation and early literacy. A sixth area covering college, career, workforce and military readiness will be implemented after the 2024-2025 school year.
Achievement: Represents whether student performance on state tests met established thresholds and how well students performed on tests overall.
Progress: This component looks closely at the growth all students are making based on their past Ohio State Test performances.
Gap Closing: Measure of the reduction in educational gaps for student subgroups.
Graduation: Based on graduation rates of a grade level cohort (such as the Class of 2021) after four years of education and after five years from the start of high school.
Early Literacy: Measures reading improvement and proficiency for students in kindergarten through third grade. The majority of data is pulled from the third grade English language arts test.
