Ranking all Ohio school districts (income adjusted) for their test scores on report cards; Steubenville is No. 1



CLEVELAND, Ohio - The 2018 Ohio school report cards released last week again produced a predictable result. Generally, higher income districts scored better than lower income districts.
That especially showed up in a look at the rankings for Performance Index, which is a guide for how well students in each district tested.
