Issued yearly by the Ohio Department of Education, a school’s report card grade is based on a district’s score on six measures of performance: Achievement, Progress, Gap Closing, K-3 Literacy, Graduation Rate, and Prepared for Success. This year, one of the numerous areas in which Keystone Schools excelled was on the Achievement Indicator (1) as we outscored the state average on all but one of the 21 tests.
Ohio Standards require that we align our District's emergency operations plan to include the notification that if there is an emergency, we will use an all-call system to notify parents.
