All 3 Valley career-tech centers earn As on state report cards

YOUNGSTOWN

All three Mahoning Valley career-technical centers earned “A’s” in the Technical Skill Attainment measure on the latest Ohio school report cards.

The component measures the proportion of students passing technical assessments. They are to evaluate skills and knowledge learned in a student’s career-technical programs.

Mahoning and Trumbull county career technical centers and Youngstown’s Choffin Career and Technical Center each earned “A’s” on the technical skill attainment component of the report cards.

MCCTC earned “B’s” for both four-and-five-year graduation rates and an “A” for post-program placement.

“We’re always striving to improve,” said John Zehentbauer, MCCTC assistant superintendent.

Post Program Placement measures the ratio of students who are employed, join the military, are in an apprenticeship program or are enrolled in post-secondary education or advanced training within six months of graduation.
