Ohio School Report Cards — District High-Level Ratings

Source. Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, Ohio School Report Cards, district-level high-level download: DISTRICT_HIGH_LEVEL_2324.xlsx (the 2023-24 report card, last modified 12 September 2024), DISTRICT_HIGH_LEVEL_2425.xlsx (the 2024-25 report card, last modified 14 September 2025) and DISTRICT_HIGH_LEVEL_2526.xlsx (the 2025-26 report card, released 15 September 2026 and last modified 25 September 2026), by the storage listing. Type. Primary source — machine-readable per-district ratings. Location. reportcardstorage.education.ohio.gov/data-download-2024/, .../data-download-2025/ and .../data-download-2026/. Requires the read-only query token recorded in “Report card connector”. The token grants list permission, so ?restype=container&comp=list with it enumerates each year’s files.

What it contains. Sheet DISTRICT_OVERVIEW: District IRN, the overall star rating and its rating points, and each component’s star rating beside its underlying measure — achievement, gap closing, early literacy, progress, graduation, and college, career, workforce and military readiness. One row for each of the 607 rated traditional districts in each edition. Only IRN, name, the overall rating and the progress component rating are extracted.

Why it matters here. It is the only held download that carries the overall rating, and the overall rating is the one R.C. 3302.10 reads: three consecutive years below two stars establishes an academic distress commission, and one year at three stars begins a transition out. Every other report card file here carries one component.

It also dates the calculator. The FY2026 and FY2027 calculators label their overall-rating column O1 with no year. It equals the 2024-25 edition’s overall rating for all 607 rated districts, so the performance supplement in both years pays on the 2024-25 card. verified crates/project/tests/the_supplements_outside_the_formula.rs

The progress columns are dated the same way, and their headers are wrong. O2, headed “2023-2024”, equals the 2024-25 progress rating for all 607, and O3, headed “2022-2023”, equals the 2023-24 progress rating for all 606 districts that card rates. So the supplement’s “progress higher than the year before” compares the 2024-25 card with the 2023-24 one. verified crates/project/tests/the_supplements_outside_the_formula.rs

Caveats:

• The layout moves between editions. The 2025-26 file inserts a Performance Index column after Performance Index Percent, and writes numbers where 2024-25 wrote text. The extract reads columns by header name. verified
• Three editions are held, and no district meets the trigger on them. R.C. 3302.10(A)(1) needs three consecutive years below two stars. One district is below two in any held year, Jefferson Township Local on the 2023-24 card, and none on the 2024-25 or 2025-26 card, so no star-rated run has completed. The 2022-23 edition is not held and could not change that. verified crates/project/tests/the_supplements_outside_the_formula.rs
• NR is not zero, but the calculators write it as zero. Put-in-Bay’s 2023-24 progress rating is NR; the extract leaves it blank, and the calculators’ O3 reads 0. verified
• Zero is not a rating. The calculators write 0 stars for four districts the download does not rate at all: College Corner, Kelleys Island, Middle Bass and North Bass. verified
