My site focuses on academic performance for all of the public and private high schools in Ohio. I believe that there are other sites that provide more information on the teacher/student ratio, socio-economic considerations, etc., but I do not. My goal with this project is to recognize Ohio's exceptional schools and to inspire communities to focus a bit more on academics. Communities do rally around athletics, especially versus league rivals. I want each community to be acutely aware of how their school compares with the other schools in its league in academics, just as they are with sports. Hope that you find the site to be worthwhile.

Of the large metro areas, Hamilton County is the strongest in the state (by far). In my Top Academic Ohio High School list, Hamilton County had 31% (22 of 71) of its schools in my top schools list. While Lucas County (Toledo), Cuyahoga (Cleveland), and Franklin (Columbus) had 14% (6 of 43), 17% (17 of 98), and 16% (13 of 80), respectively. These numbers include private and public schools. I think that much of the success of CPS is due to Walnut Hills. It's a huge incentive for the kids to do well in elementary/middle school. Cincinnati really "gets" education.

C'mon - I like blue. If you think this year's charts look bad, you should have seen last year's. I would have gotten an Olympic gold medal for ugly last year. : ) Here are last year's results for the Fort Ancient League: http://gerberanalytics.com/data/data_ogt_sw/fort_ancient_valley_conf_portfolio_2008_20090623.pdf This year's are here: http://gerberanalytics.com/index_files/ogt_sw/fort_ancient_valley_conf.html Hopefully a bit better on the eyes.
