OHIO — The report cards are out and for some schools, they will need some extra support to meet Ohio's standards for academic achievement.

According to the data released from the Ohio Department of Education, there were more than 50 schools that failed to meet a minimum of three out of five stars. Three stars or more means a district met the state's standards. 

Ohio's report cards use a star system, rating schools one through five stars in the areas of performance, achievement, gap closing, graduation and early literacy. According to the rating system, schools who received a five star rating," Significantly exceeds state standards in academic achievement" while schools who scored a four exceeded the standards. Schools with a score of three stars met the state's standards.
