The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) has released its report cards on all the public school districts in Brown County. Some of the areas reported were Achievement, Progress, Gap Closing, and Graduation Rate.
The ODE defines Achievement as “student performance on state tests met established thresholds and how well students performed on tests overall.” Progress means “looks closely at the growth all students are making based on their past performances.” Gap Closing “is a measure of the reduction in educational gaps for student subgroups.” Graduation Rate looks at how many students complete their schooling. In general, 3 out of 5 is defined as meeting the state standard. The following is the report cards by district.
