Third Grade Reading Guarantee
Third Grade Reading Guarantee
Promotion Score Update
The State Board of Education has voted to raise the promotion score of the grade 3 Ohio’s State Test in English Language Arts to 683 for the 2019-2020 school year. Any student who scores 683 or higher on the English language arts scaled score will be eligible for promotion at the end of the year.
Ohio's Third Grade Reading Guarantee is a program to identify students from kindergarten through grade 3 that are behind in reading. Schools will provide help and support to make sure students are on track for reading success by the end of third grade. The department provides policy guidance, instructional tools, and resources on the Third Grade Reading Guarantee.
The Ohio Department of Education created a guidance manual to help school districts, community schools, and chartered nonpublic schools understand the requirements of the Third Grade Reading Guarantee.
