COLUMBUS, Ohio (WKBN/WCMH) – The Ohio Department of Education released its latest School Report Cards, and back again this year is an overall rating system.

A state law was passed in 2021 to overhaul the system after two years of report cards were skipped because of the COVID-19 pandemic. When they initially returned in 2022, the Ohio Department of Education removed overall ratings for schools and districts, however, the 2023 edition brought them back.

This is the second year in a row the report cards for Ohio schools use star-based scores – on a scale of one to five — instead of letter scores from A to F. A three-star rating meets state standards, a five significantly exceeds them, and a one “needs significant support to meet state standards.”

This year’s rating system also includes star ratings in five components: achievement, progress, gap closing, early literacy and graduation.

According to the Ohio Department of Education, nearly 90% of districts and 79% of schools earned overall ratings of three stars or higher​, meaning they met state expectations for performance.

The College, Career, Workforce and Military Readiness Component is reported for information purposes only and does not count toward the overall rating for the 2023 Ohio School Report Cards. Many other components also have report-only data.

The only local public schools with a 5-star overall rating are the Canfield, Lakeview and McDonald school districts.

The lowest-rated school district, in terms of overall rating, is Newton Falls Exempted School District with 2 stars.

Youngstown City Schools received a 2.5-star overall rating.
