I have two children that attend this school my reason for being on this sight is to find a better school. I don't know what the problem is exactly but my child reads her own books in class because she says that they have nothing to do. They listen to music in class instead of learning. They have unstructured gym classes where they are allowed to listen to music. This school seems to me to lack structure and discipline. A lot of the children could benefit from the Beechbrook school program to help to settle them down for learning. The children lack discipline and to get along in school other children start to follow suite to get along. The end result is failure. I am very dissatisfied with this school at this present time. Ms. Bennett should spend more time in the title 1 schools to help correct the problems.

I currently have a daughter and a grandson attending this school. I am very satisfied with the education they are receiving. However, there are some teachers who care more than others. Although there has been some past problems with leadership, the school need parental involvement, especially from those parents who are at home all day.

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.
