School “Report Card Chaos”

The state recently released testing results for Ohio’s schools and school districts.  Scores dropped dramatically from prior years, causing confusion and uncertainty for parents and communities.

The paper advises:  “Don’t look for grades or for how many points more or less your school scored. Scoring has changed so much from year to year that a direct comparison is hard. These charts instead give a statistical look at how much scores deviated from the average test results statewide in each of those years.”  9/26/2016
