Abstract
The following study examines the predictive value of demographic variables on Local Report Card designations in Ohio. Specifically, data on the percentage of minority students, percentage of economically disadvantaged students, student-to-teacher ratio, per-pupil spending, percentage of students with a disability, and LRC designations was collected from all elementary schools in Ohio in order to examine the predictive value of each variable on a school’s LRC designation. The results of the study indicate that percentage of minority students, percentage of students with a disability, percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and per pupil spending have significant predictive value. The results suggest that despite great effort to remove demographic bias from the LRC, it continues to exist.
