2 Valley districts earn A's, 1 gets F in K-3rd grade literacy tests

COLUMBUS

Two Mahoning Valley school districts earned A’s from the state for improving literacy in kindergarten through third grade, but many districts weren’t graded because at least 95 percent of their kindergarteners are on track in reading.

Maplewood and Mathews schools earned A’s, while Austintown, Canfield, Lowellville, South Range, Bloomfield-Mespo, Weathersfield and Southern earned B’s.

Youngstown, Sebring, Struthers, West Branch, Bristol, Liberty, Newton Falls, Niles, Beaver, East Palestine, Leetonia, Lisbon, Salem and United all earned C’s.

Girard, Hubbard, Southington, Warren, East Liverpool and Wellsville got D’s.

Campbell was the only Valley district that received an F.

All of the Valley’s other districts didn’t earn grades because either there weren’t a sufficient number of students in kindergarten to calculate a grade, or at least 95 percent of kindergarteners are on track, according to their reading diagnostic tests.
