Abstract: Ohio has a long history of providing a range of educational opportunities for students, and public community schools offer various instructional models and curricula that contribute to these educational options. Designed to operate independently of a traditional school district, Ohio community schools are authorized by an approved community school sponsor. During the 2024-2025 school year, 18 sponsoring organizations authorized 340 community schools that enrolled 119,266 students. All community schools receive state-issued Ohio School Report Cards. Schools that primarily serve students enrolled in a dropout prevention and recovery program receive a specifically designed report card. This annual report addresses the performance of Ohio's community schools in five key areas: (1) effectiveness of academic programs; (2) school operations; (3) performance of sponsors; (4) legal compliance; and (5) financial condition. Key findings for the 2024-2025 school year show that 98.77% of dropout prevention and recovery community schools met or exceeded overall standards, more than half of non-dropout prevention and recovery community schools met or exceeded the standard for the Gap Closing component, and 48.2% of non-dropout prevention and recovery community schools received overall ratings of three stars or better.
