Ohio Graduation Test - Lake County

A survey of the Lake County area school districts shows that more than 98% of the area seniors passed the Ohio Graduation five section test. The Ohio Graduation Test is first taken in 10th grade and students have up to seven attempts to pass the test by the 12th grade. Students who are not able to succeed in passing by their senor year do not get to graduate.

Mentor and Willoughby-Eastlake are the two largest school districts in the area and between the two of these schools; only about two dozen students cannot receive a diploma because of failing one or more sections of the Ohio Graduation Test.
At Willoughby-Eastlake only four of the 12 seniors who did not pass the Ohio Graduation Test met all of the other requirements to graduate.

At Mentor High School about 10 students failed to graduate because of the Ohio Graduation Test. There were a total of 1,500 seniors at these two schools.

At Painesville City School eight students out of a graduating class of about 125 did not receive a diploma because of failing the Ohio Graduation Test. With almost all districts having at least a handful of students that are still struggling to pass the Ohio Graduation Test, each district will offer resources to summer school intervention and tutoring specifically for the test, which can be retaken in July.
