On September 15, the Ohio Department of Education released detailed 2022-2023 school report cards for individual schools and for school districts, which can be accessed HERE. New in 2023, Ohio schools will receive overall ratings of 1-5 stars in half-star increments. The report cards include five rated components as well as other data.

Nearly 90% of districts and 79% of schools earned overall ratings of three stars or higher​, meaning they met state expectations for performance.
