Revere Schools Score A-Plus, Fairlawn-Bath Schools Score A

Revere has held Excellent or higher for 12 consecutive years.

Revere and Copley-Fairlawn schools received generally good news from the state on their respective districts, with Revere Local Schools receiving an Excellent with Distinction grade and Copley-Fairlawn City School District receiving an Excellent grade.

“Besides the very smooth opening that we had today, we received the official information from the state that Revere is Excellent with Distinction again,” said Superintendent Randy Boroff.

“We’re very, very happy,” Boroff said. “We like to be able to show our community that their support of the levy in the last year is paying off, and our staff and administrators are still committed, very committed, to a high-quality education and doing great things for our kids.”

Highlights from Revere’s report card:

• Revere met all 26 State Indicators.

• Performance Index was 106.9 out of a possible 120.
