The Ohio Department of Education has named Huber Ridge Elementary School a High Progress School of Honor, based on its 2012-2013 Local Report Card. To become a High Progress School of Honor, a building must first be a Title 1 or Title 1-eligible school with at least 40 percent of its students eligible for free and reduced-price meals. In addition, these schools must rank in the top 10 percent for gains in proficiency, or if high schools, in the top 10 percent in graduation rates. Finally, High Progress Schools of Honor must have an Annual Measurable Objectives grade of C or higher and have met or exceeded Ohio’s value-added measure for the last three years.
“Clearly your school is doing whatever it takes to make sure that your students from all backgrounds have the opportunity to achieve academically,” wrote Dr. Richard A. Ross, Ohio’s Superintendent of Public Instruction. “This makes you an outstanding example of what is possible when students, educators, parents and community members work together believing that all students can succeed.”
