Today, we are sharing a closer look at last week's historic state assessment for our district. Last week we proudly shared the highlights of B.L. Miller and McKinley's building report cards and as a result of the combined efforts of both buildings, our district was awarded with 4 stars for the first time in school history!
Since 2024, Sebring Local has made astounding gains in its overall district rating, jumping from 2.5 stars all the way to its current 4-star rating. These gains did not occur by happenstance. Teachers, administration, students, and families dug in. They dug in on data and secured additional resources when needed. Together, our Trojans kept moving forward, achieving incremental growth, creating adjustments, and celebrating progress.
Sebring can continue its mission with data from the state report card. Sebring has a 5- star rating in college, career, workforce and military readiness as well as a 5-star graduation rate, ranking our district as the top 10 schools in the state for preparing students for their futures.
The Trojans showed big gains in achievement jumping 3% in its PI percentage from 75.4% PI to 78.4% PI. This value is from achievement data compiled using the 20 Ohio State Assessments given in ELA, math, science and social studies in grades three through ten.
We celebrate this success with all of our Trojans. Let's show everyone what it truly means to be a Trojan and use this year's results as a springboard toward future success!

We continue to celebrate the historic State Report Card results for our great district. Together, our district has achieved and exceeded state standards in several areas, including the impressive overall rating of 4 stars!
B.L. Miller has earned a 4-star rating for the first time in school history and is the result of incremental, concentrated, and sustained growth in areas of progress, achievement, and gap closing. Every component of B.L. Miller's report card has met or exceeded state standards, with three components improving by a star!
McKinley is also celebrating a 4-star rating, the first in school history! Our Trojan graduation rate is among the in the county, while our College, Career, Workforce & Military Readiness is among the top 10 schools in the state!
The remarkable efforts of our Trojan students and staff district-wide can't be measured on a scale, but we are proud to celebrate our state recognition. Today we celebrate our hard-working students and talented educators. These results are also reflective of the immense support of our families and community. Congratulations to our Trojans on a job well done and a solid foundation to continue building.

Over the summer our district completed several improvement projects. Improvements included work on McKinley’s roof, parking lot repair, and modernizing the HVAC system to better control energy efficiency with heating and cooling of the buildings.
Creating safe and comfortable learning environments for our Trojans is crucial to the success of our students. We are thankful for the support of our community as we continually improve our district.

Welcome to our first "What We're Learning Wednesday" of the year! Today we are taking a look inside new 4th grade ELA teacher, Miss Marshalek's, classroom.
Our 4th grade Trojans begin each day with a creative writing prompt. Today's prompt was, "You woke up in a jungle. What happens next?" Students' imaginations got to work as they wrote for ten minutes describing what might happen if they woke up in a jungle. This daily writing prompt exercise allows students to write creatively while strengthening their vocabulary, grammar, sequencing, and handwriting.

Reminder, Trojans:
The Sunshine Bus completed its tour of our district today with a visit to B.L. Miller.
Last week we shared a tour of the bus during its visit to McKinley and this morning our littlest Trojans were able to load up on snacks, hygiene products, a book, and a stuffed animal.
We are so thankful to have The Brightside Project's Sunshine Bus support our district and "brighten" the beginning of our Trojans' year!
