Clark State College recognized 491 students who earned a spot on the Dean's List this summer (each reached a 3.5 GPA while taking six or more credits).

Springfield high school students participated in a summer internship program that placed eleven students in paid local positions such as Springfield City School District and Gentle Dental — the program, which accepted 67 students from 11 schools, offered training in skills like time management and resume building to prepare them for future careers.

Yesterday, the Ohio Department of Education released school report cards for Miami Valley schools for the 2024-2025 school year—ranking them by performance.

The data offers a clear view of each school's standing before the new academic year begins.

The state released report cards that list five rated components—along with report-only data—to help school districts see their performance.

Officials said the details will guide upcoming improvements.
