The state uses six ratings to rank schools based on performance measured by factors including math and reading test scores, graduation and attendance rates.

TPS has nearly 27,000 students and 76 schools and also rated a "continuous improvement" last year. For the first time, TPS scored an excellent rating with one of their high schools. School officials announced Start High School is now rated excellent by the state.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - There's good news and bad news in the latest rankings of Ohio's schoolchildren.

Data released Tuesday show overall student achievement returned to a 10-year high last year and that more schools and districts were rated effective or higher.

However, test scores in the 5th and 8th grades - entry points to middle and high schools - failed to meet targets in reading, math, science and social studies. The statewide graduation rate also failed to meet its target, and the Youngstown schools fell into academic emergency. It is the first district to receive the state's lowest ranking since 2004.

New state superintendent Deborah Delisle says the rankings will serve as a benchmark for judging an overhaul of the state's ailing public school system that Gov. Ted Strickland has championed.
