Despite high scores, Twinsburg was rated "Excellent" by the Ohio Department of Education.
The Twinsburg City School District was rated "Excellent" by the Ohio Department of Education this week. The grade was based off the district's performance over the 2011-12 school year. That rating ended the district's streak of having an "Excellent With Distinction" ranking four years straight.

The previous comment is right on. No school system can continually get EWD year after year. The system isn't designed as such. Look at the scores of the schools that did get EWD rating and compare with Twinsburgs current results. (Our scores are higher than most in that list). I wish ODE would make EWD clearer. more ›
