At a board meeting Thursday the Fairfield City Schools, district officials said that although preliminary results show the district dropping from an Excellent ranking to Effective, scores were well above state averages. Of the five new tests teachers and students had not seen before, students passed four and the high school students passed all of the indicators for the Ohio Graduation Test.

The Warren Tribune-Chronicle came out in favor of the importance of the Ohio Graduation Test today, noting almost all schools in Trumbull County saw less than 2 percent of their students fail their OGT and many schools had zero failures.

The newspaper noted:

"Educators should continue making the test a priority and if necessary refine strategies to help students pass it. Like it or not employers, including companies considering where to locate their workplaces, are reading the results."
