<p style="margin-bottom:11.25pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#323232">“I applaud the continued dedication from school leaders, educators, and staff who are working hard to provide Ohio students the knowledge and skills
they need to succeed in life,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. “We must keep working to ensure our students grow in all areas of academic achievement and career readiness. This is especially important as schools strengthen literacy instruction through the
Science of Reading and as we continue investing in opportunities that prepare students for their futures after graduation.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:11.25pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#323232">“Meaningful progress happens when we understand where growth is needed and where success can be amplified. We must act with urgency to ensure every
student is equipped with the knowledge and life skills they need for the future," said DEW Director Stephen D. Dackin. “The Ohio School Report Cards are never an end point, but a building block for data-driven decisions that guide where to focus state and
local resources, and, most importantly, how best to support Ohio students."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:11.25pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#323232">For the first time, the Ohio School Report Cards include a star rating for the College, Career, Workforce, and Military Readiness component, which measures
how well the graduating class is prepared to go on to postsecondary education, enter the workforce, or join the armed forces.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:11.25pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#323232">The 2024 graduating class in Ohio demonstrated significant gains in several key metrics:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">61.4% of students met at least one of the state’s 11 postsecondary readiness measures, up from 56.3% in 2023.

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">16% of 2024 graduates earned at least 12 college credits, up from 13.8% in 2023.
<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#323232;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">25.6% earned 12 or more industry-recognized credential points in a single career field or a state-recognized license, up from 19.5% in 2023.
<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#323232;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">24.1% of graduates demonstrated proficiency on three or more technical assessments in a single career pathway, up from 22.3% in 2023.

<p style="margin-bottom:11.25pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#323232">These outcomes reflect the impact of Ohio’s strategic investments in career-technical education and its focus on preparing students for in-demand careers

<p style="margin-bottom:11.25pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#323232">Statewide math achievement has reached its highest level in five years. Math proficiency showed improvement in nearly all grade levels. Proficiency
in algebra and geometry also improved. These results underscore the importance of continued support and targeted interventions to ensure consistent growth across all grades.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:11.25pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#323232">While English language arts proficiency dipped slightly, the Performance Index on Ohio’s State Tests in English language arts reached a five-year high. As
schools adjust to new materials and instructional practices aligned to the Science of Reading, brief shifts in performance are a normal and expected part of the process. Ohio continues to make literacy achievement a top priority, and it remains crucial to
provide ongoing guidance and collaboration to ensure every student benefits from high-quality literacy instruction aligned to the Science of Reading.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
