The Performance Index scores are based upon how well each student does on all tested subjects in grades 3 through 8 and 10. Schools and districts earn anywhere from 1.2 points for each student scoring at the advanced level to zero points for each untested student. The Performance Index ranges between 0 and 120, with 100 as the statewide goal for all students. Testing in Ohio: An Overview Compare with Performance Index scores from nearby schools

State averages displayed on public school profiles include public schools only. State averages displayed on private school profiles include private schools only.
The OGT is a high school graduation requirement for public schools and chartered private schools.
The OGT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Ohio.
The different student groups are identified by the Ohio Department of Education. If there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.
The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
