Supplemental Information
Additional resources that explain aspects of report cards are below:
- Similar District Methodology: Ohio's Local Report Cards employ a method that begins with a chosen district and finds up to 20 districts that closely match based on defined criteria. These districts are considered the "nearest neighbors" statistically to the district in question.
- Typology of Ohio School Districts: A standardized method to categorize districts for research
- Emergency Medical Waivers: Ohio’s annual state tests are required by federal and state law. Although Ohio expects all students to take part in state tests, there may be rare circumstances in which students cannot take one or more assessments during the testing window dates because of medical emergencies.
- Value-Added Resources: Ohio’s Value-Added is a metric used to assess academic growth in schools. It compares the actual progress of students to the expected growth based on their prior achievement history. Essentially, it measures how much value a school adds to student learning over time. Schools with positive Value-Added scores are helping students achieve more than expected, while negative scores indicate potential areas for improvement.
- Opt In Form Community School Gifted Performance Indicator : Under Ohio Administrative Code Rule 3301-28-04, Community schools must notify the Department of Education and Workforce of the school's election to receive the gifted performance indicator. In doing this, the school will have the gifted performance indicator contribute to the school's gap closing component rating.
