This document identifies the best schools in Ohio based on each school’s performance on the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT). This is the only report that examines Ohio’s public, private, and charter schools together. It analyzes the March 2009 OGT and it is an update to the versions that were available for the March 2007 and March 2008 tests.

For those unfamiliar with the OGT tests, there are five parts — Reading, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies. There is also a summary page that shows the percentage of students who successfully passed all five parts with a “Proficient” rating. The data used in this report is from those five parts and from the summary.

There were 1,005 schools included in this analysis.
