The Rocky River City School District shone as a top district in Ohio, based on the 2023 Ohio Department of Education report cards released in September.
“We have a rich history of academic excellence,” says Greg Murphy, communications specialist for RRCSD. “We’re so proud of our students, teachers, staff, parents/guardians and community for the hard work they put in each day.”
RRCSD received a Performance Index score of 110.2, which measures how well students perform on Ohio’s State Tests. The district’s PI score was the third-highest in the state.
RRCSD also received an overall 5-star rating, as well as a 5-star rating in the categories of Student Achievement, Progress, Gap Closing and Graduation Rate. The school district received a 4-star rating in Early Literacy.
Finally, Kensington Intermediate School earned the coveted National Blue Ribbon Schools award, one of just 353 schools nationwide to do so. The award honors schools that have made significant strides in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups, or whose students achieve high overall academic excellence.
