The Ohio Department of Education has released partial data for the 2011-12 school year.

Twinsburg Patch already filled you in on how Twinsburg Schools performed. Now we have a searchable database so you can see how other school districts compare.

Want to know how Solon compares to Twinsburg? How about Hudson? Just search our database to find out.

Some caveats on the data, which is only partial:

• The information does not include an overall rating, such as “excellent” or “effective,” that the public is used to seeing. The state is investigating whether some districts manipulated attendance data and is holding off on releasing final report cards until that investigation is complete.
• The available information includes the percentage of students who scored proficient or higher on state tests and the graduation rates for the 2011-2012 school year. It also includes the value-added measure—which tracks whether students make a year’s worth of growth in grades 3 to 8 for reading and math—and adequate yearly progress, which measures achievement for students by subgroup. 
• The data above is for the 2011-2012 school report cards, but the graduation rates are always delayed. The four-year graduation rate is for the class of 2011 and the five-year graduation rate is for the class of 2010.

On its website, the department stresses that this information is preliminary and could change.
