Circleville City Schools given ‘independent’ designation, recognized by Ohio Department of Education

Circleville City Schools – All three Circleville City School District buildings – Circleville Elementary School, Circleville Middle School, and Circleville High School – have been recognized by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) as independent in designation in accordance with Ohio’s accountability system. 

Per Office of Improvement and Innovation Director for ODE’s Jo Hanna Ward, “Independent schools strive to continuously improve student outcomes by supporting the whole child, ensuring equitable services for all students, and creating a culture and climate that support learning.”

“Our Board of Education has done a phenomenal job allowing us to provide the necessary resources to support our staff, students, and have been beside us encouraging everyone along the way,” said superintendent Jonathan Davis.

“We truly believe that culture trumps strategy and that we are all in this together, thus we want to focus on the unique needs of each and every person. When we do this we can make the most of the difference we make for all, staff and students alike. Our staff and students are the best of the best and I’m blessed with the opportunity to work alongside these folks and for my own children to learn from them.”

Additionally, all three buildings have demonstrated evidenced-based strategies in the following areas: curriculum, instruction, and assessment; human capital management; school climate and student supports; leadership, administration and governance.
