Ohio Graduation Tests

Information regarding the Ohio Graduation Tests will be available soon!

The Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) is the newest attempt by the state department to assess student learning.  The tests will be administered throughout the K-12 learning experience.  The high school will administer the test when the students are in the tenth grade.
 

The Ohio Graduation Tests will be administered to next year's incoming ninth grade students.  These students will be asked to complete these tests before graduation.  The focal point of these tests are that student complete higher level, critical thinking skills.  If you would like to visit the Ohio Department of Education website by clicking on the following link:  http://www.ode.state.oh.us/proficiency/OGT/default.asp .

Our district is doing a lot to integrate these new curriculum standards.  The English department is meeting often to discuss curriculum, devise standardized rubrics as well as testing.  In addition, we have completed and have submitted a new course of study to the Board of Education for approval.  If you have any questions about this matter, please contact Janice Busher, Department Chair at (330) 296-3844 or Bea Flarida at the Board of Education.
