Governor Proposal Would Freeze Funding to Cleveland Heights-University Heights Schools

Governor John Kasich's school funding proposal would give the district about $18 million per year in 2013, 2014 and 2015

Cleveland Heights-University Heights City Schools' state funding is not expected to change over the next two years. The district is expected to get just over $18 million in 2014 and 2015 from state funding — the same amount the district received in 2013 — according to preliminary numbers from the Ohio Department of Education. These numbers are from Gov. John Kasich's budget proposal, and will likely change at least a little as the state legislature haggles out a final budget deal. MORE: Gov.

Michael, I think you're talking about Chagrin Intermediate School (Grades 4-6), not Chagrin Middle, which is a newer building. Chagrin Intermediate is quite old, but has been renovated. Not sure if that school backs up your argument. Boulevard & Fairfax are in bad shape. That doesn't mean the whole district needs a new building. Replacing one school is much different than a whole district of …   more ›

CH-UH School District Responds to Preliminary Report Card Ratings

Assistant superintendent Jeffery Talbert addressed the good and the bad news in a press release, and indicated how the district could work to improve the ratings.

The Ohio Department of Education gave the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District a “Continuous Improvement” rating on its 2011-2012 report card, according to preliminary data released Wednesday. The district received the same ranking last year and in the 2009-2010 school year. Out of 26 indicators — measures like how many students scored proficient on a certain state test or attendance rate — 8 were met, compared with 11 in 2009-2010 and 10 in 2010-2011. The performance index, which measures how well students performed on state tests overall, remained virtually unchanged, moving from 87.3 percent last year to 87.7 this year out of 120 total possible points. The CH-UH School District released a media statement today about…

LOL! Margaret, why is it that only in the city of cleveland Heights out of 71 other school districts, the state achievement test doesn't matter? Are you aware that most self respecting suburbs use the achievment tests as a recruiting tool for families? And are you aware that the tests actually do accurately measure the 3 r's. So if the CHUH scores an 8 out 24 placing them in the bottom 10 in NE …   more ›

Heuer: CH-UH Graduation Rate Drop Reflects A Change In Calculation, Not Students

The Ohio Department of Education says the new method of calculating graduation rates is a more accurate measure, but Superintendent Doug Heuer said it penalizes districts for students who take longer than four years to graduate.

On Wednesday, the Ohio Department of Education released some preliminary data from the school report cards, including four-year and five-year graduation rates. The graduation rate for the Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District fell from 92 percent in 2009-2010 to 75.5 percent in 2010-2011. The five-year graduation rate was 85.7 percent. Though the numbers could still change, Superintendent Douglas Heuer said the decrease does not reflect a change in students, but a change in calculation. “The state of Ohio is using a completely different calculation, which lowers our graduation rate.  The federal calculation will divide the total number of graduates by the total number of students who began ninth grade four years earlier,” …

If a student can not graduate in four years, could it be that they were not prepared to start high school when they began grade 9? Could it be that they were "socially promoted?" Could it be that the middle school that they came from simply did not wish to keep the student in their building, even if they failed their 8th grade, and maybe even their 6th and 7th grade classes? (Yes- in many cases.)   more ›
