Eligibility is based upon school report card rating, not the performance of individual students.

Students may apply to private schools; but need to meet the same admission standards as the other students.

Began in Ohio in 2006; as of 2011 vouchers were available in four other states and the District of Columbia.

Enrollment: 2,424 in Columbus schools, 2,539 in Franklin County, 20,228 in Ohio.

In Columbus, almost 20,000 students are eligible for vouchers for school year 2012-2013.

Two other voucher programs serve about 3,000 children statewide with special needs and autism.

Ohio’s 3rd Grade Reading Guarantee Students in grades K-3 were assessed by

September 30, 2012. Schools are now providing intervention for all

students identified as reading below grade level. State education officials say that this new law

aligns with Ohio’s Race to the Top plan to close achievement gaps, improve overall academic achievement, and increase college attendance.

Four Franklin County districts with poverty rates above 40% met the state standard rate of 75% passing.

If, by the end of third grade, a student is not assessed as reading at grade level, the student may be retained in third grade.

New Common Core State Academic Standards for pre-K - 12 These standards were developed by state and

local officials on a voluntary basis. The standards are intended to be fewer,

clearer, and deeper. Schools are now implementing these

standards. Beginning in 2014, state tests will be more

challenging. In 2014, the state report card will likely have a

more rigorous grading system.

Local educators lead effort to increase the number of adults with 2-year degrees

Central Ohio Compact, educators and community leaders have set goals: Increase the percentage of Franklin County adults who

have earned a certificate, such as nursing, or an associate’s degree from 44% to 60% by 2025.

Improve college readiness by integrating high school and college curriculum and encouraging more high school students to earn college credit while in high school.

High school graduates who are prepared for college-level work without remediation are more likely to succeed in and complete college.

The majority of students taking remedial courses do not complete these courses or college.Columbus State Community College, 2012
