Jamestown’s public schools outscore 73% of Ohio districts

On the state reading tests, 68% of Jamestown’s students scored proficient, above the Ohio average (60%). The grade covers the public school district serving Jamestown, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Ohio, not nationally.
