Kirtland Local Schools Exceeds State Standards on 2022-23 State Report Card

On September 14, the Ohio Department of Education released the 2022-23 School Report Cards for the more than 600 districts in the state.  

Five stars is the highest rating for districts and means the district significantly exceeds state standards in academic achievement.  Four stars means the district exceeds state standards in academic achievement. Kirtland’s Performance Index scores ranked in the top 9% of the state.

The Ohio School Report Cards include performance information provided by schools and districts including academic, financial, and opportunity to learn data. Some of this data is then combined into six components that receive star ratings to indicate the level of performance for the school and district.  

Components include…

Overall Rating (5 Stars) - The Overall rating is calculated by a weighted formula of all other rated components. 

Achievement (5 Stars) - The Achievement Component measures students academic achievement using each level of performance on Ohio's State Tests.

Progress (5 Stars) - The Progress Component measures the academic performance of students compared to expected growth on Ohio's State Tests.

Gap Closing (5 Stars) - The Gap Closing component shows how well schools are meeting the performance expectations for our students in English language arts, math, and graduation. It also measures how schools are doing in supporting English learners to increase language proficiency, reducing chronic absenteeism for all students, and identifying gifted students and providing gifted services.

Graduation (5 Stars) - The Graduation Component is a measure of the four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate and the five-year adjusted cohort graduation rate.

Early Literacy (4 Stars) - The Early Literacy Component is a measure of reading improvement and proficiency for students in kindergarten through third grade.

College, Career, Workforce, and Military Readiness (Not rated this year) - The College, Career, Workforce, and Military Readiness Component measures how well-prepared Ohio's students are for all future opportunities.

This fall, Kirtland Local Schools will be releasing its annual Quality Profile that showcases academics, arts, student leadership and activities, fiscal stewardship, parent and community involvement, and pupil services. This publication helps characterize the overall educational value provided by the Kirtland Local School District in the areas that matter to the community.
