I found some interseting info on all the Ohio public school districts, that I thought I would pass along. I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not, but I'll go ahead and post. Interesting fact: Last year, the top and bottom schools were from Dayton (Oakwood--top) (Jefferson--bottom) This year, the honor goes to Cleveland (Chagrin Falls--top) (East Cleveland--bottom)

 

Here are the results and corresponding % of students who passed all 5 parts of the OGT Test.

1. Chagrin Falls 98.1

2. Oakwood 95.4

3. Ottawa Hills 94.3

4. Indian Hill 93.3

5. Hudson 92.2

6. Mason              91.8

7. Kalida              91.7

8. Aurora              91.4

8. Upper Arlington 91.4

10 Solon              91.1

I found this all quite interesting, and I thought maybe someone else may as well!

 

 

 

 

I wouldn't believe this as Newsweek is not good with facts!.  If you want the truth...Read TIME.

 

Besides, how could my beloved Shaker be so far down the list?

i believe you are leaving out highland high school. i know its not cleveland area but its the northern tip of medina county. 25 miles away? ehh maybe. still it (we) scored 4th in the state 2 years ago... hmmm

Highland Local 88.9 % Not sure where they would fall ,but probably in the top 50?

although Painesville City schools are considered among the worst in Ohio, I thought this was kind of cool. Who knew there was a Grammy award for Music Educators? Perhaps Cardi B will do the honors of presenting it 😮
