Colleges and employers are demanding greater knowledge and skills from our graduates than ever before. As Ohio continues to help students in meeting higher expectations for what they should know and be able to do, student achievement is higher statewide. From 2016 to 2017, every subject area had an increase in first-time test takers scoring proficient and higher. All high school subject areas, except one, saw an increase in the percent of students scoring proficient or better in their first attempts. Similarly, for elementary and middle school, in every grade and subject except fifth grade math, higher rates of students scored proficient or better. Additionally, when looking at students scoring at higher levels (Accelerated, Advanced or Advanced Plus), another trend becomes clear: more students are passing at "higher levels of proficiency." This brief report provides a snapshot of the state results on the 2016-2017 report card with a focus on the performance index, English language arts and math, graduation rate, the Prepared for Success component, and chronic absenteeism.
