Have been in the school district since Kindergarten had no problems until the middle school. 6th grade came with 2 to 3 hours of homework each night and on weekends. We had a meeting with the Assistant Principal, counselor and teachers they say no more than 60 minutes of homework a night and said they had a plan t o meet with my child and teachers and look over the nightly homework. That was 7 weeks ago and nothing has been done.

We moved to this school from another district and feel it could do more to welcome new families. I know everyone's 'new' when they come in at sixth grade but more could be done to help new students acclimatize. There are clearly many excellent teachers, but the principal and assistant principal are younger than most of the parents, which is surprising. Not all sixth graders fit the pre-teen middle school stereotype the administration is geared to but overall the atmosphere seems positive and orderly. The school clearly achieves some great results and has great facilities.

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.
