The Ohio Department of Education released school district report cards for the 2012-13 academic year on Thursday, Aug. 22. With this data, the state began moving toward a “letter-grade” system of evaluating schools. For the 2012-13 school year, the state graded schools in nine categories and sub-categories, but did not release an overall letter grade for any school or school district. Those overall grades will first be released in 2015, when the new system is totally phased in.

- 97 to 99.9
- 100 to 104.9

Definitions
Standards met – How many of the 24 state testing standards was the district at least proficient in?
Performance index – Measures total test performance – from basic to advanced (higher is better).
4-year graduation rate – What percentage of students graduated from high school in a four-year period?
Overall value added – Did 4th-8th graders make one year of academic growth in math and reading?
AMOs – Did each subgroup of students (by race, economics, etc.) narrow the achievement gaps with the student body as a whole?
Note - This chart does not include four other graded measures – 5-year graduation rate, and the three value-added subcategories, tracking performance of students who are gifted, disabled or in the bottom 20 percent academically.
