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.

• District Roll Up of Affiliated New Startup Community School’s Performance Data : Ohio law allows a traditional public school district to combine the data of certain startup community schools with its district schools to calculate the performance of the district as a whole on the Ohio School Report Cards.
