COLUMBUS , Ohio ( WCMH ) — While class has only been back in session for a few weeks, Ohio schools received their grades on Thursday as report cards were posted by the state’s education department.

This is the third year the report cards for Ohio schools are using star-based scores, on a scale of one to five, instead of letter scores from A to F. A three-star rating meets state standards, a five significantly exceeds them, and a one “needs significant support to meet state standards.”

A state law passed in 2021 to overhaul the system after two years of report cards where skipped because of the COVID-19 pandemic. When they returned in 2022, the Ohio Department of Education removed overall ratings for schools and districts, but brought them back for the 2023 edition.

The components include: achievement, which considers testing performance; progress, or student growth based on previous performance; gap closing, which looks at reducing educational gaps among subgroups of students; graduation and early literacy.

For the first time in its history, Cleveland Metropolitan School District met state standards, receiving an overall three-star rating. The district excelled in the student progress metric, receiving four stars, but fell far below state standards in early literacy, for which it received a one-star rating.

“This achievement is a testament to the incredible dedication of our educators, staff, scholars, community partners and families,” said schools CEO Warren Morgan. “This three-star rating represents a significant shift for CMSD as we are meeting state standards for the first time ever and continue striving towards a future of excellence. This is just the beginning of our journey as we continue our charge of ensuring every scholar in our district has the opportunity to succeed and thrive.”

Of the more than 200 public school systems in Northeast Ohio, 27 received the highest overall five-star rating:
