Canton City Schools performed well against other Ohio urban school districts on the most recent state report card.

Ten percent of Ohio school districts are below state standards, according to the new state report cards the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce released last week.

The 2023-2024 scores ranged from 45.9 to 111.5. Just under half of districts increased their performance index score from the year before. The biggest increases were in Western Reserve in Huron County (83.4 to 96.2), Leetonia in Columbia County (87.1 to 92.1) and East Cleveland (45.3 to 50).

Instead of traditional letter grades, like the ones students get, Ohio uses formulas and a star rating system to grade its school districts.

The Washington County Joint Vocational School District received the highest possible score of 5 stars on the recently released Ohio School Report Cards, followed closely by Warren Local and Fort Frye Local Schools with 4 stars each.
