Posted July 7, 2011

I graduated from Premier Academy of Ohio (class of 2011 ) and attended Premier since 9th grade. This school has taught me alot throughout my years. I learned to persevere, to stay commited to my goals and to encourage others who believe they cnt achieve. I love this school as if it was my second family and if you dnt believe Premier Academy is for your child then thats too bad but if you do think it sounds great we take all enrollment with a birth certificate, Proof of residency( utility bill or rental lease) and social security

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.
