State Report Card and Rankings

The Ohio School Report Card is one of the data points that Upper Arlington Schools reviews to monitor the success of our school district and our students. Below is a five-year snapshot of Upper Arlington Schools' rankings on various data points in the report card — to make this information easily accessible to members of our community. 


The information below incorporates the most recent data from the 2022-2023 state report card, released in September 2022. Upper Arlington Schools was one of only eight districts, out of more than 600 in the state, to receive an overall five-star rating and a five star rating on each of the five report card components — achievement, progress, gap closing, graduation and early literacy. Please view Ohio School Report Cards website for more details.


While the state report card provides a simple way to view and compare our district's academic and financial data to others in our area and across the state, it is only a part of the story of what is happening in our schools. To offer a more holistic picture of our schools, we publish the Quality Profile, an annual accountability report that is rooted in our district’s strategic plan and offers our community a look at our progress on our strategic priorities. You can view the latest version of the Quality Profile on our website.

Performance Index

The Performance Index measures the state test results of every student, not just those who score proficient or higher. Districts receive points for every student who takes a test. If a student opts out of a state test, a district receives zero points for that student.
