This review of the Hays-Porter athletes is so unfounded and not true. As one of the spectators at the event. I was delighted to see these very gifted athletes compete. Sitting a few rows down from them I noticed that they were just like all the other Jr. High students there...excited, and cheering for their team. They won the meet and I did not see any of the allegations that are mentioned. This is a sad way to rain on the hard work of those young people. Animals??? That is very degrading!

I have had the wonderful experience of tutoring students at Hays-Porter School. What a delight it is to see these bright young future leaders as they master new academic concepts. Spending time with them has been fabulous. And working with such an awesome group of teachers has been icing on the cake. Go Hays-Porter!

Hays Porter is a great school. I am a parent of a preschool student at Hays Porter that is academically working on a Kindergarten level. Thanks to the supportive staff my daughter has been encouraged to succeed far beyond my expectations. My daughter and her classmates are not only academically advanced they are also socially in tune and ahead of the curve. The school has an overall family atmosphere that I have yet to find at any other schools. From one parent to another if you are looking for a place for your child to be safe, nurtured and educated Hays Porter is the place to be!

I'd never heard of Hays until their track team came to the meet held at Mariemont today and my 8th grader reported that several of the Hays students made physical threats to other kids, used inappropriate language, and one even got on all fours and growled at a group of participants like an animal. Though their efforts on the field were impressive and admirable, I am disappointed by their behavior. What a shame that Hays missed a wonderful opportunity to represent their school and make a positive impression on the surrounding communties within the Cincinnati Public School system.

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.
