For the 2021-2022 school year, the Ohio Department of Education report cards will include five rated components and various report-only data.  Ratings for components will be on 1 through 5-star scale.

Achievement Component- measures students' academic achievement using each level of performance on Ohio's State Tests using the maximum performance index score. The score includes performance on the following assessments: English Language Arts (grades 3-8), Math (grades 3-8), Science (grades 5, 8), English Language Arts II, Integrated Math I and II, Geometry, Algebra I, Biology, American History, American Government, and approved substitutes using performance on Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate Assessments.

Progress Component- measures the academic performance of students compared to expected growth on Ohio's State Tests.  SAS EVAAS calculates value-added measures for Ohio (since 2002).  Value-added compares the change in achievement of a group of students from one year to the next to an expected amount of change based on the student's prior achievement history.  The Progress Component rating will be determined by using the growth index and the effect size.

Gap Closing Component- measures the reduction in educational gaps for student subgroups.  This component will reflect whether schools and districts meet the expected performance thresholds on: the gifted performance indicator, chronic absenteeism indicator, English learner proficiency improvement indicator, graduation goals for student subgroups, academic achievement in English language arts and math for student subgroups, and academic progress (growth) in English language arts and math for student subgroups.

Early Literacy Component- measures reading improvement and proficiency for students in kindergarten through third grade.  Three measures factor into the component rating: proficiency in 3rd grade reading, promotion to 4th grade, and improving K-3 literacy.

Graduation Component- measures the four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate and the five-year adjusted cohort graduation rate.
