In Warren County, three districts earned 5 stars in the overall rating. Those are Springboro, Wayne and Mason. Kings earned 4.5 stars, while 4 stars went to Franklin, Little Miami and Carlisle. The Lebanon district earned 3.5 stars.
Ohio School Report cards are to give the community a clear picture of public school districts “in raising achievement and preparing students for the future,” the ODE says.
“The information measures district and school performance in areas most critical to success in learning. The report cards also provide information about finances and expenditures and educators and staffing,” states the ODE.
