I am a very involved patent at Iowa Maple School and I can say first hand because I am there everyday that the teachers and staff go above and beyond everyday for the students and the parents. I have seen the principal and teachers use their own money to buy basics such as underwear for children! Yes underwear! Some of the things that I have seen makes me admire what they do on a daily basis. If you want to know what really goes on you need to be there. The principal is a no nonsense taking young lady who cares so deeply for her students that she has a mentoring program that she started for her middle schoolers where every adult in the building mentors one or two students. They do things with the students outside the school setting on the weekends on their own time and with their own money. The students who do the right things like my children are rewarded every quarter by going skating with the principal, going out to eat with the principal, and monthly treats at lunch. I love, love, love this school. Imconfident that my children are loved and not just educated here.

i have had several children attend iowa maple and i must say that i am very disappointed with the school system. the principal has no control over the school and some of the teachers could care less if your child is learning. i was also upset when i found out that the children must wear a strict dress code or find themselves thrown into inschool suspension, but the staff can wear whatever they like.

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.
