The state has released the preliminary ratings for districts and schools.
The state has released the rest of the state report card information, and the news is good for Brecksville-Broadview Heights schools. While the data is still preliminary, as of now, the district has again achieved the highest possible state report card rating for the 2011-2012 school year: “Excellent with Distinction.” School and district report cards are usually released at the beginning of the school year, but that timeline has been pushed back while the state auditor investigates whether some districts manipulated attendance data. Some preliminary data—without the ratings—was released in late September.
