Rep. Somani Celebrates Worthington City Schools for Their Four-Star School Report Card

COLUMBUS - State Rep. Anita Somani (D-Dublin) today announced that the Department of Education and Workforce (DEW) has released 2024-2025 School Report Card data. Report cards are designed to give parents, communities, educators, and policymakers information about the performance of districts and schools — to celebrate achievement and success as well as identify areas for improvement. 

“I’m proud of the work that Worthington City Schools has done over the past year to receive a 4-star rating from the Ohio DEW.  Thanks to the tireless work of our talented educators and staff, our community’s children are receiving the high-quality education that they deserve.  They are being given access to the tools they need to have a successful adulthood. 

That being said, every child in Ohio deserves access to the same high-quality public education regardless of their zip code. But in order for that to happen, the state of Ohio must invest more money into our public schools. A good education is the foundation for success, and every child deserves to be given access to the tools they need to thrive in adulthood,” said Rep. Somani. 

The Ohio General Assembly amended Ohio’s accountability law in the summer of 2021. Starting in 2022, schools began using a 1–5 star rating system. In addition to an overall rating, starting this year, schools will receive a rating in six categories instead of 5 which include achievement, progress, early literacy, gap closing, graduation and College, Career, Workforce, and Military Readiness. 

For the first time, the College, Career, Workforce, and Military Readiness (CCWMR) component will be rated. The CCWMR component is intended to measure how prepared the graduating class from a district or building is as they transition to post-secondary education, enter the workforce, or join the armed forces.
