My son has attended there for grade k and although I love his teacher the school as a whole needs some restructuring. He probably won't be going back.

As far as education is concerned the school is fine, but the school as a whole needs to become more organized.My child came from a school that had parent -teacher confrences, dinners, and also other activities that promoted parent envolvement. I feel like my son is just another body. There are no fundraisers or bake sales. They haven't even taken school pictures yet! I would suggest looking into another school because my child will not be attending next year.

This School is making an attempt at doing something not seen in the Cleveland School District before. The possibilities are endless and it is a very promising school showing excellent hope for the future of Cleveland schools.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Ohio used the Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The OAA is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Ohio. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.

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.

No Value-Added data was reported for this school.

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.
