Hilliard Schools Ranked First in the State in Value-Added on State Report Card

Posted on September 22, 2023September 22, 2023

As you have heard, the Ohio Department of Education recently released the Ohio School Report Cards for the 2022-23 school year. We’re thrilled to share some exciting news about one of the components of the report card: Progress. The Progress Component is based 100% on the district’s value-added score.

The value-added score is made up of two components: overall growth index and effect size. I am pleased to report that, according to the Ohio Department of Education, Hilliard City Schools was ranked #1 out of 607 public school districts on the overall growth index and #15 out of 607 districts on effect size.

Value-added looks closely at the growth all students are making based on their past state test performances. In short, value-added measures how much our district’s teachers grow student performance, regardless of where students start, over the course of a year’s time. It is a true representation of our commitment to every student, without exception.

The Progress Component (based 100% on value-added) measures the academic performance of students compared to expected growth on Ohio’s State Tests. This calculation uses a “value-added” model of measuring academic growth that compares the change in the achievement of a group of students to an expected amount of change in achievement that is based on the students’ prior achievement history.

I want to congratulate every employee and every student of the Hilliard City Schools for this achievement. This is a testament to their hard work and dedication to being Ready for Tomorrow.

David Stewart – Superintendent
