Friday June 15th the Ohio Department of Education released preliminary spring testing results for the Ohio Graduation Test. More than half of all of Ohio’s local school districts performed poorer this year than they did in previous years. With scores in social studies dropping at the highest rates for most Ohio school districts, followed by reading and science. The biggest drops in reading over the previous year were found in Carroll County's Brown Local district they dropped 19 percentage points and Canton Local Schools dropped 10 percentage points. While, eight districts made huge gains in science over the previous year, Osnaburg Local scored 13 percentage points higher.
Ohio state education laws say that all students in Ohio must pass all five parts of the Ohio Graduation Test before they can graduate. To read more about the Ohio Graduation Test results click here.

I have no promlem with testing the students prior to leaving high school, I don't believe it should determine whether or not they graduate. They have completed 12 years of your curriculum and should be allowed to graduaate. The ACT/SAT's are in place to determine future advancement. Let's stop humiliating our young people after completing 12 years of standards that the Ohio Education Depaartment put in place. I not just home school, wait 12 years and take the test.
