Kings Quality Profile

Kings Local Schools joined almost 20 school districts

throughout Ohio in releasing a Quality Profile, a robust

companion to the state’s Local Report Card. The profile

includes additional accountability measures that define a high-quality

education. The Quality Profile helps characterize the overall educa-

tional value of public education beyond standardized testing. The con-

tent is based on 10 categories: academics, arts, commitment to im-

provement, digital learning, fiscal stewardship, parent and community

involvement, staff leadership, student activities, student leadership

and student services.

We hope that our community finds this report helpful as they measure

the quality of education that our school district brings to the commu-

nity.

For 2012-2013, Kings Local Schools performed well overall on the nine

categories the state ranked.
