I am a current teacher. I completely enjoy teaching at Columbus Humanities. This past year we outscored Columbus Public on 7 out of 12 academic assessments in grade 3-8. Our music program is excellent and our athletic program has grown leaps and bounds!

I am a previous parent. The curriculum in this school is awesome, the staff works extremely hard with the children and encourages them to reach goals. The only bad thing is the lack of discipline or control. There are a lot of unruly children and this takes a lot of the teachers time.

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.
