Excellent teachers/principal/extracurricular activities. There is a constant strive for excellence and "how can we do better". Teachers are always available for the students and no one is left behind.

This is a great school. Even though some people think the 5th and 6th graders should not be with the 7th, 8th and 9th in the same school, it works out very well here. The 5th and 6th graders are on the first floor, and the rest are on the 2nd floor. The kids have a penpal when they are in the 5th grade to make it easy on them. Their test scores are excellent! It is an excellent learning facility!

Good school for the most part, but they should not have a school with 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th graders together. 10 and 11 year olds are too young for middle school. Middle school should not start until 7th grade.

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.
