The Chardon Local Schools is focused on our mission of high achievement for all students, where learning is our most important work. That learning is not just for our students, but for all of us. We constantly examine, innovate, and evolve how our students learn.
This past week, two reports regarding different aspects of the Chardon Local Schools have been released for review. The first, our Quality Profile, examines elements of a high quality public education: academics, arts, student leadership and activities, fiscal stewardship, parent and community involvement, and student services. The Quality Profile, organized by the Alliance for High Quality Education, affords a qualitative overview of the programming and activities of the Chardon Local Schools.
The second report released this week is our state Report Card, a quantitative companion to our Quality Profile. The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) has altered several aspects of the report card from previous years, impacting districts across the state. The ODE has noted that comparisons between this year’s data and previous year’s data are difficult because they are not “an apples to apples comparison.” In fact, this year, the ODE is not releasing a ranking of school districts.
Both the Quality Profile and the state Report Card afford us valuable information with which to assess and improve on our mission. I encourage you to read both of these reports, which can be found on our district’s homepage at www.chardonschools.org, and consider how the greater community can support and enhance the Chardon Local Schools. Our teachers, principals, and support staff collaboratively review our instruction in order to enhance our students’ achievement. And, as a district, we continue to evolve in order to meet high achievement for all students, where learning is our most important work.
If you have any questions regarding our Quality Profile or Report Card, please feel free to contact me at michael.hanlon@chardonschools.org.
