I don’t really know – I can only gauge how my district’s schools are doing according to…me. But here are three new sets of data just out:
1. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce gave Ohio a grade of B
(hattip to Buckeye Battle Cry)
2. Ohio schools (total of 26) in Newsweek’s Top 1500 public schools in the country list

3. Euclid High School’s graduation rates top in country – I’m particularly excited to hear about this recognition because the graduation year noted in the Plain Dealer article is 2006, the end of the second year of small schools reform implementation. I spent hundreds of hours following the students, parents, teachers, administrators, community stakeholders and reformers from 2004-2006 at that school. I’d love to hear follow-up from them about whether they think that effort is responsible for the results.
You can read the Diplomas Count 2009 article that includes the Euclid mention here.
You can read, browse and consider all the Diplomas Count 2009 data and narrative here.

I believe the small schools are being dismantled next year.
Hi Russ,
Well, originally, the money was about $1billion from Gates to 20 or so states I think from 2002-2003 through 2007-2008 – a five-year period. I understand that KnowledgeWorks in Ohio did continue to fund some of the programs, but I’m not sure which ones. Euclid left the formal program in the fall of 2006 I believe.
My wife has been subbing in the system and the small schools exist now, but will not be continued next year.
I am a graduate of one of the schools on Newsweek’s list.
