Ohio Graduation Test - Dayton Public Schools

Dayton Public School will have a special graduation ceremony later this summer for students who did not pass the Ohio Graduation Test or did not earn enough credits to graduate. Students will work this summer to pass the Ohio Graduation Test and/or earn enough to credits to receive their diplomas. Then these students will be given a special graduation ceremony.

However, Beavercreek City Schools is not considering a separate summer graduation. "If we have a student that doesn't meet the requirements, they don't march." said Superintendent Dennis Morrison.

Linda Oda the community information officer for Springboro Community Schools said Springboro is not considering a summer graduation because it would affect too few students. She said that Springboro’s situation is different from Dayton’s because Springboro only has one student that did not receive a diploma because of the Ohio Graduation Test.

"Our situation is different from Dayton's in that only one student can't walk because of OGT scores," Oda said, " but I think it's great that DPS is doing this and still honoring those students."
