They have worked so hard over the last 4 years and deserve something fun to finish the year out! Click on the link below to donate! Thank you for your support!

Celebrating Our Growth and Dedication to Excellence

School Report Card (2023-2024 school year)
We are excited to share that the Ohio Department of Education has recently released the 2023-24 Ohio School Report Cards, and our three schools - The Graham School, The Charles School at Ohio Dominican University, and Graham Elementary and Middle School - have much to be proud of! While we recognize that there is work to be done, these results reflect the tremendous progress we’ve made as a community.
 
Highlights:
  • All 3 schools achieved a performance index of achievement that meets or exceeds the requirements that Ohio considers when determining high quality schools.
  • TCS was able to meet the High Quality Charter School funding requirements for the second year in a row and GEMS was able to meet these requirements for the first of two years for qualification. 
  • TGS has met one requirement (performance index) and aims to continue working towards the progress score needed to meet the first year of qualification for High Quality funding. 
  • GEMS & TCS achieved an Overall Rating of 3 stars out of 5 stars. They achieved 4 stars out of 5 stars in Progress.
  • TGS maintained steady scores with overall improvements to the Performance Index and more than doubled their percentages for helping students to be “Prepared for Success” as determined by the state report card.
  • TGS achieved a 4-year graduation rate of 85.4% and a 5-year graduation rate of 90%.
  • TCS more than doubled their Prepared for Success percentage and scored over 60% in their Performance Index for the 2nd year in a row
  • GEMS received an improved Early Literacy rating that almost tripled their improvement rate from last year while continuing to Close the Gap, a 3-year track of progress in this area. 
We know that growth is key to student success, and we are proud that all our schools are making strides toward ensuring every student reaches their potential. The Progress Component in our report cards highlights our students' academic growth year after year and our continued commitment to that work.
 
At the same time, we understand that there are areas where we need to focus our attention, particularly around closing achievement gaps, improving proficiency levels in core academic areas, and improving attendance rates. We remain dedicated to identifying and addressing these needs, with targeted support and interventions to help every student succeed.
 
These achievements are a testament to the hard work, resilience, and commitment of our teachers, staff, and students. We are incredibly proud of the progress our students have made, and we celebrate their growth as they continue to learn and thrive.
 
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in making our schools a place of growth, opportunity, and success. We are excited to continue this journey together, building on our progress and striving for excellence in everything we do.
 
Together, we are preparing every student for a bright and successful future!
