The Ohio Department of Education is preparing to release a second round of information indicating how districts performed last school year.
Report card data set for release Thursday will include rankings for overall student achievement, annual progress and an area called gap closing, which reflects the extent to which students in different ethnic, racial, income and disability groups got an equal education.
The release also will include performance in gifted education and how much districts and schools are spending per student, in the classroom and compared to other districts and schools.
First round reporting in January included literacy levels in grades kindergarten through 3, rates of high school graduation and other measures. How students faired under Ohio's third-grade reading guarantee will be reported later.
