Wyoming City Schools posts 5‑star state report card, superintendent highlights growth and gap‑closing
Summary
The superintendent presented the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce local report card showing an overall 5‑star rating; achievement and progress indicators received 5 stars, early literacy scored 4 stars (87.3%), and the district’s performance index was 105.9 (96.9% of the maximum).
The superintendent presented the Ohio local report card and quality profile to the board, saying the district earned an overall 5‑star rating under the state's five‑indicator system.
Why it matters: The state report card is a prominent public measure of district performance. The board used it to discuss strengths (achievement, gap closing, graduation) and areas for attention (early literacy and subgroup growth analyses).
The presenter said the district’s performance index was 105.9, which he described as "96.9% of the maximum score" used to compare districts. "We had 5 stars, noting that we are significantly exceeding state standards," the superintendent said while walking through the achievement and progress indicators.
The report card breakdown presented to the board included: achievement 5 stars; progress (growth) 5 stars; gap closing 5 stars; graduation 5 stars; early literacy 4 stars (87.3%); and a college/career/workforce readiness score of 75.3 with component metrics (honors diploma 49.4%, industry credentials 3%, dual enrollment ≥12 credits 4.8%, remediation‑free ACT/SAT 60.8%, AP/IB 56%, CTE proficiency 9.6%).
Board members asked technical questions about how the performance index and subgroup measures are calculated, including the point values assigned to performance levels and how small subgroup N‑sizes can add variance. The superintendent explained that points are derived from performance levels (proficient, accelerated, advanced, etc.) and that students who do not take a test are scored as zero in the performance index calculation.
The superintendent also announced the district will distribute a quality profile to every household that highlights academics, arts, athletics and community partnerships; he said the district uses the report card along with other data to shape improvement plans.
What’s next: The board directed staff to keep sharing quality‑profile materials and to use the report‑card data in upcoming strategic planning and goal‑setting work.
