Each year the Ohio Department of Education releases report cards for each Ohio school and district. If you would like to see the report cards for GES, GIS, GMS, GHS, and the district, they can be downloaded at our district web site (http://www.granville.k12.oh.us/). Some highlights from the district report card: 1. We earned the highest designation from the state, which is called “Excellent with Distinction.” Of the 49 school districts that make up the Central Ohio region (Licking, Franklin, Delaware, Fairfield, Madison, Union, and Pickaway counties), nine districts earned the highest designation. 2. We earned our district’s highest Performance Index score since it was created six years ago. The Performance Index is a score that instead of simply giving credit for how many students pass an exam, provides a weighted measure of how high the students score on each exam. Of the 49 Central Ohio districts, our score of 106.1 was the second highest (Upper Arlington earned 106.7). 3. Of the 30 indicators the state uses to grade districts, we met all 30. This is the tenth consecutive year our district has exceeded every state indicator. There are only three other school districts in Ohio (out of 610 districts) that have accomplished ten straight years of perfect report cards. While we are excited to earn a perfect report card, we are not suggesting that we are a perfect school district. There are many areas that Superintendent Prebles is working to help the Granville Schools improve. However, the report card does demonstrate that 2007-2008 was a successful school year academically for the students, so thank you for your support in working with the teachers to make that happen. The final note for the week is to let you know that the Granville Board of Education is holding a special meeting on September 9 at 1:30 pm.
