Ohio Dept. of Education releases star rating school report

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - For the first time, the Ohio Dept. of Education issued its school assessment through a star ranking system.

School districts, as well as individual school buildings, are issued grades on achievement, progress, gap closing, early literacy and graduation.

Scott, Rogers, Start and Woodward high schools all received a 2-star rating on the building level. Waite and Bowsher earned 2.5-star ratings. Those designations mean that the schools need support to meet state standards.

Among other districts, Ottawa Hills, Perrysburg and Sylvania received a 5-star rating. Anthony Wayne and Findlay earned 4.5 ratings. Springfield, Maumee and Bowling Green received a 4-star rating. Napoleon, Defiance and Fremont had a 3.5-star rating. Washington Local received a 2.5-star rating.
