Stay on top of your childs credits. Utilize OPEN ENROLLMENT if possible to offer your child a better education thru surrounding schools. Be prepared depending on where you live due to the consolidation, to drive far rural country roads to these schools that are far away from each other. If your child is involved in sports, there is an activity bus, but again be prepared to drive far distances for games and practices! MAKE YOURSELF INVOLVED, you will not find yourself being invited to parent teacher conferences on a regular basis NOR will you find that the teachers implement intervention programs!SHANNON DUDA, Freeport-Ohio

The faculty and students at Harrison are all doing great since the consloidation. Students work together to help improve and strengthen the overwhelming school pride. The students are more considerate than students at other schools. It is a wonderful place and I reccomend it for anyone!

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.
