Federal Accountability Lists

The Ohio Department of Education serves as a collaborative partner with schools identified in need of support. Through Ohio's Approved ESSA State Plan, a school may be identified in one of three categories: 

  • Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI): CSI schools (previously identified as Priority Schools) are identified every three years, with the most recent identification based on performance data from the 2021-2022 school year. There are four ways to be designated as a CSI school:
    • any school with a federal graduation rate of 67% or below;
    • the lowest 5% of Title I schools based on the overall rating Ohio School Report Card (for schools with three or more rated report card components);
    • the lowest 5% of Title I schools based on chronic absenteeism rates (for schools with less than three rated report card components); or
    • any school that has not exited Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI) status within three years.
  • Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI): ATSI schools (previously identified as Warning Schools) are identified every three years, with the most recent identification based on performance data from the 2021-2022 school year. There is one way to be designated as an ATSI school:
    • any school (not identified as a CSI school) with at least one federal student subgroup performing at or below the same level of CSI schools based on the numerical overall rating threshold set by CSI schools.
  • Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI): TSI schools (previously identified as Focus Schools) are identified annually. There is one way to be designated as a TSI school:
    • any school (not identified as a CSI or ATSI school) with at least one federal student subgroup performing at or below the lowest 2% of the relevant subgroup. Schools must also have a 2.5 star or less overall rating in the subgroup for which they are identified.
