A great school and a nurturing, safe environment for students to learn. We've been very happy with the school and our son is enjoying his days there. We came from NY where our school was not safe and nothing was being done to fix the situation. If you're moving into this area I would tell you that you'll like the school system and the teachers.

For a small town school Ashville does a pretty good job. The teachers are very approachable and most are very good. The students have music twice a week, but it is rather uninspired. PE is also twice a week and that program seems to be doing well. The art teacher is very good however the children only receive art lessons 3 times every nine week quarter so a total of twelve times a year. This is disappointing. There is no diversity in the teaching staff and very little in the student population. The school offers a reasonable number of extracurricular activities such as book club, Say No To Drugs and math for parents. There is also an excellent gifted learner program for students in the first through fifth grade. Academicly, the school is alright but I feel the curriculum could challenge the students more.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Ohio used the Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The OAA is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Ohio. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.

About the tests


In 2010-2011, the Ohio Department of Education used the Value-Added Measure to show how much growth students made on the Ohio Achievement Test since the last school year. The state expects that student test scores will show an average year's worth of growth compared to test scores from the previous year. Ohio's Value-Added Measure is not the same as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), a federal measure which uses different criteria.

About the tests


Ohio uses the Performance Index to provide an overall indication of how well students perform on its standardized tests each year. The Performance Index scores are based upon how well each student does on all tested subjects in grades 3 through 8 and 10. Schools and districts earn anywhere from 1.2 points for each student scoring at the advanced level to zero points for each untested student. The Performance Index ranges between 0 and 120, with 100 as the statewide goal for all students.
