As a graduate of Hiland High School I can tell you that you won't find a better place anywhere in the state for your kids to go to school. My wife and I are looking to have kids but we are waiting until we can afford a house in the East Holmes school district. However, if you are ultra-liberal and want to raise your kids that way this probably isn't the school for you. Hiland very much promotes judeo-christian values in and out of the classroom. Although I was never forced to attend a religious function as someone on here claimed, it is very clear that most of the staff and students come from Christian homes. The real beauty of the system is that while judeo-christain values dominate school policy, I still received a very well-rounded education including exposure to other religions and ideas like evolution. As a graduate of an ultra-liberal state university I can attest that I was generally well-ahead of the class despite being taught in this environment. The only detraction from the school is the foreign language department which really misses the mark. If you want your kids to be safe, well-educated, and a part of an outstanding community this is the place for you!

I am VERY thrilled with how the teachers teach the children and their vast knowledge in the specific studies. The children come first at Hiland which is appreciated. Their christian roots still hold strong today as they have prayer meetings. Sports program is loved by whole student body and famililes as they come together as a huge support to each other. Very impressed with the FFA/Ag chapter that Hiland holds. I feel that the teachers are very passionate with their job and respect the children as they teach. My only down fall with Hiland is they need to more open with the sophomores regarding future college planning.

'A fantastic school' I don't mind Jesus posters on lockers, prayer meetings in the school building, and your child being taken out of class to attend school sponsored Christian -non-educational- events. A lovely place, and the academics and music great! I was delighted. The good things I have to say about this place are that Mr. Pratt is an excellent teacher, and the cafeteria food was to die for.' What a nice school for kids to attend. Jerry Parker 330-966-4681

A fantastic school- if you don't mind Jesus posters on lockers, prayer meetings in the school building, and your child being taken out of class to attend school sponsored Christian -non-educational- events. A lovely place, if you don't mind that sports are the main concern of *everyone*, while academics and music fall by the wayside. It seemed to me very much like a private Christian school where the taxpayers are footing the bill. I was disgusted. The only good things I have to say about this place are that Mr. Pratt is an excellent teacher, and the cafeteria food was to die for.

I can't imagine sending my children to any other school. I know they are going to a well run, safe, high moral. My son is not lost in the crowd, and I know exactly what is going on academically with the district link computer updates. I truly appreciate the teachers caring & willingness to listen & help each child out.

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.
