Here, I’ll briefly cover school performance, high-quality schools funding, our projected growth in 2025 and beyond, and some projects and activities with which we’ve been involved.  \nFirst, school performance. The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (DEW) released its report cards for all schools in September. Seven of ten schools we sponsor received an Overall rating of three stars or higher, and all but two outperformed their home districts on the same measure. Generally speaking, our schools performed stronger on Ohio’s Progress (growth) measure, with seven of ten scoring three stars or better on the measure, meaning they met the state’s standard for performance. Our schools had a much tougher time with the state’s Achievement measure, where only one, the Dayton  \nEarly College Academy, achieved a threestar rating. In our eight schools that offer elementary grades, none achieved a rating of three stars on Ohio’s Early Literacy measure.  \nWe are glad to see the strong showing on Progress and will push hard to boost student outcomes for Achievement and Early Literacy. A detailed analysis of school performance is included in the pages that follow.  \nIn Ohio, charter schools that meet certain performance criteria are designated  \nCommunity (aka Charter) Schools of Quality. These schools receive significant additional per-pupil funding. It is noteworthy that  \n4,920 students in Fordham-sponsored schools benefited from receipt of the additional high-quality school dollars in 2023–24. Although only five of ten Fordhamsponsored schools received quality awards, they serve 77 percent of all students in the Fordham portfolio. The total dollar amount of the awards to these five sponsored schools (DECA, DECA Prep, KIPP Columbus, United Preparatory Academy, and IDEA Greater Cincinnati) was $14.7 million, or about 17 percent of the total statewide high-quality allocation of $84.4 million. As our colleagues at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute in Columbus reported recently in a landmark study, this funding has been critical to increasing teacher salaries, reducing staff turnover, and driving student learning gains.  \nIn addition to our usual work of monitoring, site visits and providing ongoing support to our sponsored schools, our team has been involved in a number of other activities. We’ve spent the year hard at work on our school’s alternative accountability frameworks so that as our schools grow to multiple locations we can see school performance at the building level (which is not always the case with the state report card). This has been a worthy project, and we’ve learned a lot. On the upside, we’re better able to drill down to assess building-level student outcomes at schools with multiple sites. A persistent challenge,  \n1 2024 FORDHAM SPONSORSHIP ANNUAL REPORT  \nTable of contents  \nhowever, has been the lack of uniformity of performance measures across our portfolio. As we reflect on initial implementation with an eye to the future, we will aim to simplify and bring coherence to the alternative measures across our portfolio.  \nAs you know, we take seriously our mission to promote educational excellence in our schools and serve as an exemplary charter school sponsor. While we work with schoolson a daily basis to provide support, we also provide our schools with discretionary grants in furtherance of student success in years where our sponsorship revenue exceeds expenses. In 2023–24, we were fortunate to find ourselves in this situation, and we gave grants totaling $100,000 across our portfolio for summer school, tutoring, library resources, after-school programming, student attendance, transportation, and charter board training.  \nIn closing, I would like to thank each of our sponsored schools for their partnership, and the Trustees of th","cbCaio7MbKwwlYV0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio7MbKwwlYV0","pdf",6029087,"English","# Letter from the Vice President for Sponsorship\n# Who we are\n## Our Mission\n## Leadership\n## Staff\n# What we do\n## Research and commentary\n## Charter school sponsorship\n# Portfolio performance\n## School performance on state tests\n## School performance on Fordham’s contractual accountability plan\n## School performance on Ohio Department of Education’s sponsor-reporting requirements\n# Directory of schools\n# Appendix: Academic and organizational accountability plan\n# Sources","[{\"question\":\"How did Fordham-sponsored schools perform on Ohio’s state measures in 2023–24?\",\"answer\":\"Seven of ten schools received an Overall rating of three stars or higher, and most schools outperformed their home districts on that measure.
