Statewide math achievement reaches highest level in five years; more graduates earning college credits, industry credentials
The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce this week released the 2025 Ohio School Report Cards, which highlight the continued progress of districts and schools across the state in their efforts to prepare students for the future.
Districts and schools receive overall ratings of 1-5 stars in half-star increments. This year, more than 90% of districts earned overall ratings of three stars or higher, meaning they met or exceeded state expectations for performance. View the Summary of Ohio School Report Cards.
The 2024 graduating class in Ohio demonstrated significant gains in several key metrics:
- 61.4% of students met at least one of the state’s 11 postsecondary readiness measures, up from 56.3% in 2023.
- 16% of 2024 graduates earned at least 12 college credits, up from 13.8% in 2023.
- 25.6% earned 12 or more industry-recognized credential points in a single career field or a state-recognized license, up from 19.5% in 2023.
- 24.1% of graduates demonstrated proficiency on three or more technical assessments in a single career pathway, up from 22.3% in 2023.
These outcomes reflect the impact of Ohio’s strategic investments in career-technical education and its focus on preparing students for in-demand careers and lifelong success.
Statewide math achievement has reached its highest level in five years. Math proficiency showed improvement in nearly all grade levels. Proficiency in algebra and geometry also improved. These results underscore the importance of continued support and targeted interventions to ensure consistent growth across all grades.
While English language arts proficiency dipped slightly, the Performance Index on Ohio’s State Tests in English language arts reached a five-year high. As schools adjust to new materials and instructional practices aligned to the Science of Reading, brief shifts in performance are normal and expected.
This marks the third consecutive year of declining chronic absenteeism, and the lowest mark since before the COVID-19 pandemic. This improvement reflects statewide efforts to strengthen student well-being, reduce barriers to attendance, and create safe, supportive learning environments.
