Passing rates on state exams improved - graduation rates increased. Performance against national norms and all core content areas consistently reached the 90th percentile and above.”

"The Baldrige Education Criteria has provided a systemic and systematic framework for the alignment, continuous improvement and results focus of the West Carrollton City Schools since the 1999-2000 school year. I have seen and experienced many improvement models and none are as inclusive, non-prescriptive, value-added and process/results oriented as the Baldrige Criteria.”
