The most recent state report card from the Ohio Department of Education reflects that our state is raising the bar for all students. Our students were judged against new, higher standards. The lower grades in some areas may be a concern to parents and residents as Springboro has an established tradition of high state ratings. Even with the lower grades on this year’s report card, Springboro Schools is among the 20 percent of public districts with the highest academic performance index scores in the state. Our district is one of only six districts in the Dayton area to receive an "A" on Student Progress.
First, we want to encourage our students and staff on a job well done. We know our work in education does not end with a test or a report card, and now we are reviewing our grades and the data behind them in order to direct resources where they are most needed for student growth.
The state report card informs us in six broad categories: K-3 Literacy, Achievement, Gap Closing, Progress, Graduation Rates, and Prepared for Success. The Ohio Department of Education has made a brief overview of the Ohio School Report Cards available online.

Below is the state report card data based on the 2018-2019 school year. The data for 2019-2020 was mostly listed as "Not Rated (NR)" across the board for public schools, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The data for the 2020-2021 school is preliminary at this stage, and we are awaiting finalized data before publishing. Once we have this final data, it will be published below.

There are additional accountability measures that define a high-quality education in ways that are not captured on the state report card--academic programs offered, the arts, student leadership and activities, financial responsibility and operations, parent and community involvement, and student services.
