In hour two, Mark and Clayton take a closer look at the latest Cincinnati Public Schools report card and ask a bigger question: What are Ohio’s school report cards actually measuring? The pair breaks down the factors that determine a district’s rating, examines what those scores can—and cannot—tell us about the quality of a school, and discusses why urban districts like CPS often face challenges that extend far beyond the classroom.
