See How Lakewood Schools Did On State Report Card

LAKEWOOD, OH — The Lakewood City Schools received their state report from the Ohio Department of Education last week. District officials both touted their relative success on some metrics, and noted that a singular collection of data points cannot be used to gauge the success of a school district.

"Lakewood City Schools is proud of the progress our students continue to make on their growth and achievement data. As a district we pride ourselves on being able to provide many services and programs that meet the needs of our students and families, many of which cannot be measured by a single test on a single day," said new Lakewood Superintendent Michael Barnes in an emailed statement to Patch.

Here's how Lakewood City Schools graded out:

• Achievement: C
• Progress: B
• Gap Closing: B
• Graduation Rate: C
• Improving At-risk Readers: C
• Preparation for Success: D

Here's the full report card for the district.
