The state has released the rest of the state report card information, and the Stow-Munroe Falls School District received the same good news as last year. 

While the data is still preliminary, as of now, the district has again achieved the second highest possible state report card rating for the 2011-2012 school year: “Excellent.” The highest rating the state gives out is "Excellent with Distinction." 

The school district has received an "Excellent" rating since 2006, according to Superintendent Russ Jones. 

"We are very pleased the district has received the 'Excellent' rating. We are proud of our students, teachers and parents for making this high academic achievement happen," he said.

School and district report cards are usually released at the beginning of the school year, but that timeline has been pushed back while the state auditor investigates whether some districts manipulated attendance data. Some preliminary data—without the ratings—was released in late September. The final results and the .pdfs of the report cards won’t be published until the state auditor’s investigation is done, according to the Ohio Department of Education’s website. 

While the attendance rate and performance index had not been previously released, the school board got a look at the results in September.
