Caldwell schools are great...as long as your kid is the perfect little student. They can't seem to handle it if your child doesn't do exactly what they want, when they want it.

As a teacher in Caldwell, I feel very fortunate to be in such a good school district. We have great kids who can academically compete with any other schools in the state. We have administrators who care about the students, teachers who will do whatever it takes to help the students be successful, and a community that is willing to help with anything and everything. Every school has pros and cons, and I would be the first to agree that the lack of air conditioning is sometimes unbearable. Overall, however, we have a great school, and I am proud to be a Redskin.

I am proud to have 3 children who attended Caldwell Elementary. They speak highly of their teachers and the school. If the main complaint at this school is air conditioning, that is great!

This school needs a lot of work. I agree the schools need better air conditioning, it is a miserable place to be in the warmer weather. But what needs to be done first is a staff/principal evaluation. Our children deserve better, we have them enrolled in a small country school not a military school. Why someone cant step in and help , I do not know, but this school needs a lot of work.

Caldwell schools are great. The majority of the staff work very well with the kids. I go to Caldwell, and I absolutely love it..sure, it can get pretty hot, but we can work through it. plus, we need something extra to complain about any ways. Also, the art programs are very good and the choir is excellent. I could keep going on and on, but I'll spare you. Go Redskins!

The state needs to step in at this school. And clean up some of the teachers. They have no respect for parents or students. It is being run like a concentration camp.

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.
