FIVE STARS … Ottawa Hills Local Schools have again received a 5-star rating – "significantly exceeds state standards" – on the Ohio Department of Education’s state report card for the 2025-26 school year. The results were announced today.
The district earned overall rating points of 4.656, placing it 14th out of 61 districts statewide to earn 5 stars. The top district in the state on this year’s list was Grandview Heights, in Franklin County, with overall rating points of 4.813. The only other school in the greater Toledo metropolitan area to earn 5 stars was Perrysburg, which had overall rating points of 4.344.
Broken down by component, Ottawa Hills earned 5-star ratings in achievement, gap closing, progress, and graduation rate, while earning 4 stars in early literacy and workforce and military readiness.
The achievement component measures whether student performance on state tests meets established thresholds and how well students perform overall, while gap closing shows how well schools are meeting performance expectations for students in English language arts, math, and graduation. Gap closing also examines how schools reduce chronic absenteeism and identify students as gifted.
The progress component measures the impact of districts, schools, and teachers on the academic growth of groups of students from year to year. This year’s report cards are based on three years of data. The graduation component measures high school graduation rates.
The early literacy component measures reading improvement and proficiency for students in kindergarten through third grade. The workforce and military readiness component is intended to measure the readiness of a graduating class to go on to post-secondary education, enter the workforce, or join the armed forces.
