District Report Card

Ohio District and School Report Cards

The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) annually issues report cards for each Ohio school district and each Ohio school. The report cards look back on a school year and provide information on such areas as students’ performance on statewide tests, graduation rates and early literacy rates.

To see current and prior report cards for individual schools within Cincinnati Public Schools, visit the Ohio Department of Education's website: https://reportcard.education.ohio.gov/
