Beachwood City Schools Receives Aaa Rating from Moody’s
Beachwood City Schools are pleased to announce that Moody’s Investors Service has assigned a rating of Aa1 to the borrowing the district will use to pay for our main stadium renovation slated to be complete this coming September. The Aa1 is the highest rating possible for this type of borrowing by a school district. Concurrently, Moody’s reaffirmed Beachwood’s overall credit rating as Aaa, the highest rating possible. The Aaa rating is based on our strong financial standing, effective fiscal management, reliable coverage of debt payments and steadfast community support of operating levies. It provides for favorable rates when the district secures bonds for future projects. This saves Beachwood taxpayers significantly in the form of lower interest rates over the life of these bond issuances. Beachwood is one of just four school districts in Ohio to maintain this superior credit rating.
The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) released the second portion of the 2015 state report card in late February. This portion includes students’ performance on the state-mandated assessments in English/Language Arts, mathematics, science and social studies administered last spring (2015). Beachwood City Schools overall, as well as Bryden, Hilltop, the middle school and the high school all earned an A, the highest grade possible. In addition, Beachwood City Schools overall, Hilltop and the middle school all earned an A for “Value Added” which is based upon our students’ scores on Grades 4 - 8 English/Language Arts and mathematics assessments relative to their own previous benchmarks. Although we pay close attention to our district report card and are pleased with these results, our primary goal will always be to provide highly engaging curriculum and instruction in a supportive and inspiring school environment. Thank you for your support of Beachwood Schools.
