District administrators told the board that Centerville City Schools earned an overall five-star rating on the Ohio state report card and reviewed the six component measures the state uses.
"We have once again earned the five-star rating, which from the state says that we significantly exceed the state standards," an administrator told the board, noting the district is one of 47 districts statewide to earn that rating and that the state has 607 districts in total.
The presentation walked board members through each component: achievement (based on spring Ohio State tests), progress (year-to-year student growth), gap closing (performance of state-defined subgroups), graduation (four-year cohort and special-education nuances), early literacy (K–3 measures) and the new college/career/workforce/military readiness component.
Administrators highlighted that the district performed at or above similar districts in many measures and noted areas for continuing work, including monitoring how the state will calculate college/career readiness in future iterations of the report card.
The presentation included background on how the metrics are calculated, noted that some subgroup calculations exclude students who decline a diploma in order to continue services to age 22, and indicated the board would receive updates as report-card rules and related legislation evolve.
