Five Miami County School Districts earned the top state rating of "Excellent" in the most recent report from the Ohio Department of Education released Friday morning.
The 2008-09 state report card grades public schools and districts with one of six ratings. "Excellent with distinction" grade is roughly the equivalent of an A+, and the others equate to A-F ratings: excellent, effective, continuous improvement, academic watch or academic emergency.
Although the grade is a public stamp of quality, it does not have consequences that benefit strong performers or punish weak ones.
