I am deeply impressed with this district and its teachers. My daughter has been so supported academically, emotionally and socially, and I challenge anyone to find a better public school district. Parents are committed and involved, the teachers are enthusiastic and well trained and we could not be happier.

Good students. Teachers are good to the students, but not to each other. They talk behind each others' backs; principal does nothing about it. School lunch lacks variety. Good school to send your kids to. If you work here, expect good kids but poor fellow workers.

I have been a district parent for 8 years and have been actively involved. Generally , this is a good district and I would give the ES higher marks than the PS and MS. There are significant concerns when it comes to how the school differentiates for the students individual needs. They make a choice to not develop a child's potential in subject areas that may be a strength. They stand firmly behind rigid guidelines for a program that excludes numerous gifted children stating that the regular curriculm is strong enough to meet the bright childs needs. (no sour grapes personally, my kids were able to qualify and participate in the program taught by a wonderful teacher) I am surprised to see the student teacher ratio listed as 14. This NEVER happened in my experience. For 4 years my childs math and LA classes had over 30 students. Hard to differentiate.

Affluent community. Parent involvement is substantial. Also they have occupational therapist, speech pathologist, and the like on staff, for the childrens needs. This is a direct reflection of the disticts community support, and large funding. Lack of diversity.

Our son has attended the Indian Hill Schools since kindergarten and is now in the 5th grade. We have been so happy with the education that he has received! The teachers and staff all all top notch and are really able to cater to each child' individual needs. The parental involvement in this district is amazing as well. We feel very blessed to be a part of such a super district!

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.
