My kids enjoy going to school. The school offers classes like music art pe libary which breaks up the day for the kids and keeps them excited. The math-science is taught with lots of games that engage. My son received individual reading help, is up to his grade standards now. Overall a great school for the kids with lots of resources. The school pushes the kids, expects alot - but in the right way. Parents are really involved. Bullying could be handled in a better way, my son was told he could not play with a few boys. He was then told he had to give more compliments and use I statements ? Another mom had the same issue and her daughter was told the same thing - her daughter had to compliment and use I words when she was getting teased ?

Great teachers. Involved Principal. PTO is well organized. There is a feeling that the parents really care about their kids education.

Great School. The Principal is wonderful, caring and understanding. Our son is now in 2nd grade, and so far his teachers have been outstanding. The entire school staff from the Librarian, the office staff, the PE teacher, the school bus driver and the janitor are all awesome. Great job!!!

The principal is personable and easy to talk to (in certain cases when needed). Bullying is handled in a timely and effective way. My DD needed a little extra help in math and received just that. The PTO is a great group of women who have done alot for the school in the 2 short years of its opening. There are some excellent teachers and then below average as in every school. GRE has some great events through the year for the children and families as well. It offers a small amount of extracurricular events. My main issue with GRE is the tick problem at recess. I wish they would do something about it.

The staff is very friendly. The teacheres learn and know all of the students by first name very quickly. This school has an excellent program in place for reading intervention. Extreamly safe and clean.

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.
