School District Ratings for Trumbull County (Warren/Youngstown area)
Thought i would post this article for all those who might be looking for a good district to send their kids to in the Youngstown/Warren area.
Report card scores climb - News, Sports, Jobs, Community Information - Tribune Chronicle - Warren, OH
Quote:
For the first time, 10 of Trumbull County's 20 school districts achieved an excellent rating on Ohio's annual report card assessment.
Two districts, Lakeview and Howland, were recognized under a new category called excellent with distinction.
|
Remember, the Lakeview District consists of Cortland City and Bazetta Township. |

Am I crazy or did they start grading schools on a curve?
"A school or district that achieves a composite result of above expected growth for two consecutive years may increase its designation by one category. Districts where pupils made above-expected progress from year-to-year, based on a state formula looking at previous years’ statistics, get a positive value-added measure.
The change helped the designations of some area districts including Boardman, which maintained its excellent designation for the second consecutive year, and Leetonia, which increased from effective to excellent."
This is talking about Leetonia and Boardman
"“It shows that we are making progress even though we don’t meet all of the indicators,” he said."
By grading on a curve the State gets to say this.....
"More districts than ever have been designated as effective or better,” Zelman said.
Nearly 85 percent of districts and almost 70 percent of school buildings earned an effective or higher designation on the latest report cards."
I also noticed that the article didn't even bother to mention the schools that have been getting an excellent rating since the program began.
