This school is no good. The administration will target your child and will turn against them. There is tension in the school that makes the learning enviroment very difficult to learn. Your student will not succeed.

My child entered Alliance in the kindergarten. She had a great teacher and learn so much. In first grade she continued to grow. I love Alliance and the way the Principals knows the students personally. I will send my younger children to Alliance.

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.
