My daughter attended Price and I was very happy with all the staff at this school. They have an excellent principal. She is very active in the school and with the students. You will always find her at any function the school is having. They also have a very good excelerated program for a small community. The teachers at this school seem to really care about our children and their success.

I have had two children go through Price and my third is at Price now. I have seen many schools, in Cuyahoga Falls and Akron, and have never seen one with such an enthusiastic principal. She leads her team to success! The staff does a wonderful job encouraging the children to always do their best, even during these trying times. Test scores seem to be the important factor to our state and although all seems to geer towards testing, Price teachers still make learning fun and enjoyable for theie students. Support staff is fabulous and the school nurse is the best! No place like Price. I wouldn't have chosen anywhere else 14 years ago!

My school has the best teachers, staff, students, and parents in the district. They work harder than anyone and support their school 100%, even through tough economic times! There is no better school than PRICE!

I have four kids going to/through this school. It is a great school, from the teachers to the principal to the office staff. My kids are getting a great education, and they're having fun too.

I have two children who both attended Price. I would not have picked any other elementary in the Falls. The teachers are great. Mrs. S. the principle is amazing! My family has had to move out of state due to employment reasons. My daughter was going to Roberts but my son was still at Price. He misses it very much.

I have to say, that my children are at Price Elementary because of open enrollment and have been at Price their entire school career. My children enjoy learning and love the teachers there, as well as the principal. I have been very happy with the administration and the staff. I would recommend Price to any family looking for a positive environment for their child to grow and learn.

The school is on a downward spiral because of open enrollment from the Akron schools. My child has been threatened numerous times and it appears that the minimum is being done to correct the problems. The teachers have been upbeat and friendly but are being tested daily by unruly children.

We're only three weeks into the year. My son is in K2. Everyone is great. The principal means business and is working very hard to provide quality education for the children. They have a program called Everyday Math that is just starting this year and it's awesome. Price is called a renaissance school. It's a great place. Be willing to work with your children to help them along. That's with any school, but they really try to stress that here. Get involved and the children will be successful.

Price elementary has been great for us. They have an wonderful speech therapy class which has helped my son greatly. They also have a gifted/talented accelerated program that is exceptional for such a small community. The city is blessed to have gifted and special ed teachers of this caliber. There are a few teachers who have been teaching the same class too long and are intolerant of change, and there are also some very creative teachers. We have only had two teachers out of 7 that I would consider 'excellent.' Price's best asset is its music/dramatic arts program. The teacher and what she has built for K-5 is un-matched in Cuyahoga Falls, and most of the surrounding cities as well. The children are taught extensive music theory as well as music, art, and theater appreciation. This program is a hidden gem in a tiny community!

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.
