According to the Ohio Department of Education, Ohio School Report Cards are designed to give parents, communities, educators and policymakers information about the performance of districts and schools. The goal is to ensure equitable outcomes and high expectations for all of Ohio’s students. (Editor’s Note: Can ‘equitable outcomes’ be equated with teaching at minimum levels,?) Below is the 2018 report card for the Boardman Local School District.
