The Career Technical Planning District (CTPD) Report Cards for the 2023-2024 school year were released by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) recently.

The CTPD results are made up of data from the Knox County Career Center High School and other career tech programs in the six associate schools: Centerburg, Clear Fork, Danville, East Knox, Fredericktown, and Mount Vernon. The data comes from the students enrolled in half-day career tech programming at KCCC and also in the associate schools where career tech classes are offered by class period in areas such as Ag, Family Consumer Science, Project Lead theWay, etc.

Knox County Career Center (KCCC) CTPD received a 5-star rating, which means KCCC significantly exceeds the state standards. One-hundred percent (9 of 9) of the Federal Indicators were met. This is the second year in a row that the KCCC CTPD has received a 5 out of 5 star rating.

KCCC CTPD received 4 stars for achievement. The data showed that their Technical Skill Attainment rate had a 99.9% participation rate with 89.1% passage. KCCC CTPD received a 5-star rating for their graduation rate. The data showed that their year-year graduation rate was 98.4% and the five-year rate was 98%. KCCC CTPD also received a 5-star rating in career & post secondary readiness. The data showed that their rating increased from 91.7% to 102.9%.

This number continues to improve as they increase the number of students in work-based learning opportunities, apprenticeships, internships, and earning 12-point industry credentials.

Finally, KCCC CTPD received a 5-star rating in post-program outcomes. The data showed that their post-program placement decreased from 97% to 92.5% for the CTPD, but the KCCC High School had a post-program placement rate of 97.4%.

“We continue to strive for excellence. Students at KCCC are leaving more prepared than ever with more industry credentials and work experience. We partner with our associate schools to assist them in providing career technical education and in preparing their students with credentials and technical skill attainment. I’m very proud of the career tech education options that we offer in Knox County and all of the work of our teachers and staff,” said Kathy Greenich, KCCC superintendent.
