MOUNT VERNON — Knox County’s career technical program earned top marks in the latest round of Ohio School Report Cards.
Every fall, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce releases its school report cards for all public schools and districts — including career technical planning districts.
Locally, these districts include Pioneer Career and Technology Center, Knox County Career Center and programs housed within local districts like Madison Local Schools and Mansfield City Schools.
Career technical planning districts (CTPDs) receive a report card with four metrics: achievement, career & post-secondary readiness, graduation rates and post-program outcomes.
The cards also includes nine federal indicators: four year graduation rate, extended graduation rate, academic proficiency in language arts, academic proficiency in mathematics, academic proficiency in science, postsecondary placement, non-traditional program enrollment, participated in work-based learning and technical skill attainment.
Knox County Career Center received an overall rating of five stars and met all nine federal indicators.
“We are excited for another year with a 5-star rating. We do not take it for granted and work diligently year-round to prepare our students for success and to give them many opportunities to succeed in different ways and areas,” Supt. Kathrine Greenich said.
“The CTPD report cards reflect students not only at KCCC High School, but all students in Knox County taking career tech classes at our associate schools. We will be digging into the data for our own students and the students from other schools, too.”
