Excellent with Distinction

Although this isn't exactly news, the Worthington School District is rated "Excellent;" and it's not just Excellent but Excellent with Distinction!  This rating speaks to the fact that the staff, teachers, and students have demonstrated the top performance rating, despite spending less per student than Columbus, Upper Arlington, Bexley, and Grandview.

In case you haven't read it.
