The Ashtabula Area City School District has continued improving, and this year, the district met 16 of 30 Ohio Department of Education indicators, which earned the district a rating of “continuous improvement.”
What is extraordinary about Ashtabula schools earning 16 indicators is three years ago, the district earned only two indicators, assistant superintendent Patrick Colucci said.
“Everyone worked so hard to get to this point,” he said. “When you get to this point, you know you are on a solid foundation.”
The schools achieved the following indicators:
Third-grade, reading and math;
Fourth grade, reading, writing and math;
Sixth-grade, reading and math;
Seventh-grade writing;
Eighth-grade writing;
Tenth-grade reading, writing and math;
Eleventh-grade reading, writing and math; and
Attendance.
The district did not achieve the indicators in social studies or science.
Colucci also shared the ratings of each school: Plymouth Elementary, “excellent”; Saybrook Elementary, “effective”; Thomas Jefferson Elementary, “effective”; State Road Elementary, “effective”; Washington Elementary, “effective”; Lakeside High, “effective”; Thurgood Marshall Elementary, “continuous improvement”; Chestnut Elementary, “continuous improvement”; McKinsey Elementary, “continuous improvement”; and Lakeside Junior High, “continuous improvement.”
“Every school either maintained its rating or moved up a rating,” Colucci said. “We are very excited.”
