By Joe Wessels, CPS CommunicatioonsCincinnati Public Schools (CPS) received its School Year 2024–25 Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (ODEW) Report Card, maintaining a 2.5-star Overall rating. CPS improved in 16 of 20 tested areas – up from 13 last year – with notable gains in mathematics, graduation and college and career readiness. Ten of 18 CPS high schools earned three or four stars in this component. Twelve of 18 CPS high schools maintained or improved their rating at two stars or better, and six high schools earned three or more stars. CPS’ rating declined this year largely because the District did not meet the chronic absenteeism indicator, which carries significant weight in the calculation.
