My child attends this school and has received an excellent education, a strong sense of community, and a love of learning. I credit the outstanding teaching staff, the presence and strength of auxillary programs such as art, music, Spanish, and technology. As a resident of Bexley we are proud of our school system and all it provides.

Overall, an exceptional elementary school with outstanding, committed teachers. Unfortunately, the principal is detested by the community due to her lack of responsiveness to parents.

I think the above reviewer has it all wrong. Bexley is a separate city from Columbus, like any city, students have to be residents. The residency rules are no different than any other city. As for diversity, the school system is more diverse than people think.

This school is not accepting minority children as they should. Bexley is a small community within the city of Columbus, they're so self-centered they do not want Columbus children to be transported into their schools feeling that it would bring the reputation of the school down. Yet they seek assistance (some funding) from the city of Columbus to improve their school. My tax money! This school or any of their middle and high schools have very low enrollment of minorities. I rate this and all of Bexley's schools 1/2 star or no star if I could!

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.
