TPS gets 'C' rating

Toledo's boys' academy was almost closed a year ago. Now, it's hailed as a success story.

Martin Luther King, Jr., Academy for Boys made major academic gains last school year. The school jumped two ranks on the Ohio school report cards, which were released yesterday.

School leaders pointed to a dedicated staff, new reading initiatives, and an attitude of empowerment at the school. The staff feels so strongly about empowering students that they tell them their test scores at the beginning of each year and give them goals based on those scores.

"You have to have a goal to achieve something," Principal Chad Kolebuck said.

King Academy was one of Toledo's bright spots this year, but not every school saw such major gains.

Toledo Public Schools maintained its ranking of continuous improvement -- the equivalent of a C grade. The district's overall score, called a performance index, increased to 83.1 on a 120-point scale, a bump of 0.5 points. King Academy jumped from academic emergency to continuous improvement.

This is the fourth year in a row the state gave Toledo the continuous improvement ranking, and the fourth straight year the school system made incremental improvements on test scores. The district's performance index has risen from 79.1 in the 2006-2007 school year.

Despite the overall increase, 10 schools were rated in academic emergency, the state's lowest designation, up from nine last year.

The annual assessments include a bevy of data -- including graduation rates, results of the Ohio Academic Achievement exam and the Ohio Graduation Test -- and show whether a district and its students continue to improve year-to-year. Much of the information is used to determine whether schools made "adequate yearly progress," a determination of success under the No Child Left Behind Act.

In many ways, Toledo's report card was the same as in years past: small growths in test scores, a few bright spots and disappointments, and the same group of schools and students pulling the district's overall rank down.
