It scraps the letter grades that started in 2012 after confusion over the previous rating system.
Rep. Don Jones (R-Freeport) said the bill he s proposing with Rep. Phil Robinson (D-Solon) replaces the A-F grades, which some called too simplistic, with designations Jones said more accurately represent what is happening in schools.
“The six designations are ‘significantly exceeds expectations’, ‘exceeds expectations’, ‘meets expectations’, ‘substantially approaching expectations’, ‘moderately approaching expectations’ or ‘in need of support’.”
Those designations would be based on performance in the existing categories of graduation, achievement, progress, gap closing and the third-grade reading guarantee. They re modeled after designations in Massachusetts.

State Rep. Phil Robinson (D-Solon) released the following statement today on his committee assignments for the 134th General Assembly:
Subscribe It is an honor to continue to serve as the ranking member on the Primary and Secondary Education committee. I look forward to building off of the bipartisan work we started last General Assembly in the House with Chairwoman Manning, Vice-Chairman Bird, and the members of the committee in both parties.
In order to secure the Ohio promise for our children, we must continue our work on critical K-12 education issues such as fair school funding, COVID-19 relief for schools and students, state report cards, school takeovers, EdChoice vouchers, and many more key policies.
