Nearby schools like Chagrin Falls, Gilmour, Kenston, Solon and others also turned in notable performances, with several teams and individuals advancing to district play across multiple Division I and II tournaments.
   

• District's Performance Index explained (chagrinvalleytoday.com) — Chardon Schools celebrated a top-7% statewide ranking on Ohio's report cards, and in comparing results, district leaders highlighted Orange Schools among the top 15 performers in Northeast Ohio.
