TPS state report card results

Toledo Public Schools took a hit on the state report card.  Toledo's largest urban district went from a "Continuous Improvement" rating to "Academic Watch."

It's not the news district leaders were hoping for ahead of the November election.  TPS is once again in Academic Watch, although the district earned an index score of 81.8. 

The district failed to show enough growth and did not meet the state's Value Added measure.  TPS' graduation rate also tumbled to 62.4%, last year it was at 83 percent.   The State now calculates whether each student graduates within 4 years. By law, TPS is required to offer classes to special education students until they reach the age of 22. TPS also earned a 94.3% attendance rate.  District Leaders blames the state's new formulas and its new transformation plan for the slide in scores. 

Last year under its new plan 98 percent of administrators were assigned new positions, 300 teachers changed grade levels, 122 new teachers were hired and 3500 students were shuffled to new schools.

Here's a breakdown of the school buildings:

10 schools are in Academic Emergency--

East Broadway, Glenwood, Leverette, Marshall, Pickett, Robinson Rosa Parks, Samuel M. Jones, Sherman and Spring.

8 in Academic Watch---

Chase, Harvard, Scott, Keyser, Mckinley, Reynolds, Riverside and Woodward.

19 are in Continuous Improvement--

Arlington, Birmingham, DeVeaux, Edgewater, Ella P Stewart, Garfield, Glendale-Feilbach, Hawkins, Larchmont, Mctigue, Navarre, Oakdale, Old Orchard, OWE, Raymer, Rogers, Walbridge, Whittier, and Waite.

7 are Effective--

Beverly, Bowsher, Burroughs, Byrnedale, Longfellow, Ottawa river, and Start.

5 schools are rated Excellent--

Elmhurst, Grove Patterson, Martin Luther King, Toledo Early College High School, and Toledo Technology Academy.

Today TPS leaders say they hope the public will be patient and believe next year's report card will show improvement. Today the district set a goal to be rated effective in 2015.
