Congratulations to our Special Education Department!
Each year, districts and community schools in Ohio receive a rating evaluating the performance of special education programs, known as the Special Education Rating. The Ohio Department of Education calculates this rating using the final data submitted through the Education Management Information System (EMIS). The compilation of data results in one of four possible ratings: Meets Requirements, Needs Assistance, Needs Intervention, or Needs Substantial Intervention.
Edgewood City’s 2021 Special Education Rating is Meets Requirements.
The primary basis of this rating is the final special education program data submitted through EMIS for the 2019-2020 school year. The Special Education Profile your district received in December 2020 includes the data used to calculate the rating. The district rating evaluates the implementation of federal requirements, also called compliance measures, as well as results for students with disabilities. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Special Education Ratings are based only on compliance measures. Student assessment results are not included due to the waiver of statewide testing for the 2019-2020 school year.
Rating Criteria
The 2021 rating assesses districts’ performance on the following measures:
