My children have attended Summit Academy Columbus Elementary for two years. The staff is excellent, the programs are above average, and I would not change my children's school for anything in the world! We love Summit Academy!

I LOVE this school after attending our local public school and having an awful first grade year we sought out alternatives and found Summit Academy. This year has been a God send for my son he has a higher self esteem and is much happier! His teacher is AMAZING and I can tell she really loves her job and her students! Which is the way it should be!

This is a great school for kids with ADHD. Not only do the kids function better in this setting but it is so nice working with the staff. Everyone understands why my kids operate differently. And the kids all relate to each other too. We feel at home here with the kids, staff and other parents. And the staff goes 200%, above and beyond for the students.

My daughter is diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Summit has worked so well with her issues and yet has kept her challenged with the advanced work she needs. I am so glad we found Summit Academy!

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

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.
