Ohio and New York are two of the most populous states in the United States, and both have excellent public education systems. In Ohio, school districts are rated by a Performance Index Score (PIS) that measures overall academic performance. This score is determined by a variety of factors such as test scores, graduation rates, and college/career readiness. Schools in New York use a “Quality Review” process to assess their effectiveness. The review involves an assessment of student achievement, teaching practices, safety climate, trust and collaboration within the school community, and parent/community engagement. Additionally, each district has its own set of criteria for evaluating schools.
Both Ohio and New York have high standards for local education. Both states provide resources to help ensure high-quality education for the students who attend their schools. They also offer additional resources such as tutoring programs and extracurricular activities that can help supplement classroom instruction. Lastly, both states make sure that teachers are qualified through certification assessments to guarantee they have the knowledge necessary to teach children effectively.
Ohio schools spend $20,624 per student (The US average is $12,383). There are 12 pupils per teacher, 314 students per librarian, and 314 children per counselor.
