Quality Profile
We have completed our 2020-21 Quality Profile. You can view the profile using this link.

Quality Profiles create a well-rounded picture of a high-performing school district.

Additional measures are examined to evaluate a district’s effectiveness beyond standardized tests such as academics, arts, student leadership and activities, fiscal stewardship, parent and community involvement, and student services.
Hey Bexley, Let's Talk About Achievement Culture
In the face of growing evidence that "achievement culture" can place students at risk for a range of mental health challenges, the district is hosting a community summit to explore strategies to address the pressures our students and teachers are facing. 

We are inviting parents, teachers, and high school students to a discussion on this article, and this podcast conversation with a recent BHS graduate. You can register to join the conversation using this link.

New Quarantine Guidance Released
The Ohio Department of Health released new quarantine guidelines earlier this week. Click here to read the new guidance.

These guidelines have generated questions within the Bexley School District and other districts in the area. Until we have clarification on the current guidance, we will continue to follow what we have in place. We recently met with Franklin County Public Health and Columbus Public Health to inquire about those questions. We are waiting to hear back from public health officials as we consider how this new guidance affects our current mitigation plans. 

We will send out an update when we have more information. Thank you for your patience.
Our Covid-19 Dashboard will appear on https://www.bexleyschools.org/COVID19.aspx and be updated every Thursday.
