Ohio’s 3rd Grade Reading Guarantee Students in grades K-3 were assessed by
September 30, 2012. Schools are now providing intervention for all
students identified as reading below grade level. State education officials say that this new law
aligns with Ohio’s Race to the Top plan to close achievement gaps, improve overall academic achievement, and increase college attendance.
Four Franklin County districts with poverty rates above 40% met the state standard rate of 75% passing.
If, by the end of third grade, a student is not assessed as reading at grade level, the student may be retained in third grade.

New Common Core State Academic Standards for pre-K - 12 These standards were developed by state and
local officials on a voluntary basis. The standards are intended to be fewer,
clearer, and deeper. Schools are now implementing these
standards. Beginning in 2014, state tests will be more
challenging. In 2014, the state report card will likely have a
more rigorous grading system.
