Ankeney Middle School is among the best. I am privileged that my children attended here during our military tour in Ohio. The school is excellent in promoting academics and the environment is strict, yet welcoming. The teachers and Principal have control over the students and the children are happy and productive. If you are thinking of re-locating, this school is top notch.

I love Ankeney, the anti-bullying program is excellent and every kink in drills or a system is immediatley worked out and the principal comes to a classroom in every different team and grade and talks and answers questions about almost anything

This is a great school! They have some awesome extracurricular activities and the atomosphere is very welcoming and nice. The place is clean and gives off a welcoming feeling. Parents get involved in many of the activities and the teachers are just amazing. They get along well with the students and try to make learning as fun as possible without over-doing it. There are many good role models at this school as well. The students have fun, learn, and at the same time are being kept safe and out of trouble.

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.
