The Ohio School Report Cards show the state’s public school districts have made some progress since pandemic-related closures, but they still have a ways to go.

The state’s report cards on last year’s academic performance for the Class of 2024 in Ohio’s 607 public school districts are out.

The statewide report card on school districts released Monday shows Columbus City Schools largely stayed flat compared to last year as many area schools showed improvements to their overall grades.

Ohio's new report cards offer a mixed bag, showing public schools are doing a little better but there's still a long way to go to get back to levels before the pandemic.

Central Ohio school districts were graded on a 1-to-5 star system based on achievement, progress, gap closing, graduation and early literacy.

It's the third time in the last ten years that the rating system for Ohio schools and buildings has changed, with each change said to be a way of making the system of grading schools easier to understand.

State report cards haven't received letter grades the past two years because of the pandemic, and now districts and buildings will no longer be ranked on an A-F scale.

State lawmakers have sent to Gov. Mike DeWine a bill that would replace the A-F grades on report cards for Ohio’s more than 600 school districts with a new rating system. DeWine has hinted he will sign the bill, the second major overhaul for the school report cards in less than a decade.
