Posted April 11, 2011

I transfered my child to East Clark from a Charter School after a terrible experience with the Charter School. I was a little nervous about him attending a Cleveland Public School but I must say I am expressed. My child loves going to East Clark. He's getting excellent grades and the staff is wonderful. They offer many academic and extra curricular activities such as boy scouts, the girls club and sports. They try really hard to help their student achieve academically. The only downside is there is very little parent involvement. I think the school could see better performance out of the students if more parents where involved.

The school is very poorly run. The principal seems to imagine brutality and screaming is the equivalent of discline, and treats the staff no better than she treats the students. She is abusive and bossy, and has no manners.

The office staff has no professionalism at all they treated me like I was a convict of some sort when I tried to pick my child up when I got them to understand who I was then they acted like I was really dumb. I am so happy I took him out of this mismanaged school the teachers were good but the office staff needs to go.

I have had nothing but a headache since my daughter started school here two years ago. The women who work in the office, who give parents their first impression of the school, are very unprofessional. The office personnel made me feel, on several occasions, that I was interrupting them when I needed to ask a question. Their telephone ettiquette leaves a lot to be desired, as I was disconnected several times after listening to laughing and background talking and feeling like I had not had my questions answered. Although the cafeteria staff was awesome, they didn't have enough help and were overwhelmed trying to feed and monitor 100+ children once. The Principal of this school tries very hard, but can't do it without proper staff.

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.
