Identification and Requirements

Ohio provides a system for supporting schools and districts according to their needs for improvement. This “differentiated accountability” system contains a range of support levels based on district report card results. Recent changes to Ohio’s accountability system and Consolidated State ESSA Plan shifted the landscape of district and school identifications for 2023 and beyond. Schools identified by the federal accountability system were notified in June 2023 and districts will be notified in the Fall of 2023, following the release of the 2023 Ohio School Report Cards.
