My son has been diagnosed with ADHD and has experienced truly tremendous teachers who have worked with him to best meet his needs as an individual. My daughter has been identified gifted and attends this school as well. This school and its teachers have provided opportunities for acceleration that are best suited for her as an individual. I can't imagine a better place for both of my children with very different needs.

Yes, I have to agree w/ what the parent said in regards to ADD/ADHD. My son, who has ADD has been treated wonderfully. Not only was he evaluated before the school year began. He was put on an IEP immediatley. We then have meetings during the year to reevaluate his progress - which I might add has been amazing.

This school has consistently ranked among the highest of schools in Ohio, and with good reason. The class sizes are reasonable, the teachers are accessible, as is all of the staff, and the extra carricular activities are plentiful. As for the comment regarding ADD/ADHD, I have found the staff, including the principal, to be professional, sensitive, and willing to go the extra mile. IEP's are regular and consistent, and personally, we have seen enormous growth and improvement in our ADD diagnosed child. We have another child on the other end of the spectrum, and he too is treated appropriately for his age and intelligence level. Northmont Schools in general have a great sports program, and the community is very involved. O.R. Edginton has a great principle in Dr. Best; he is always available to parents for any reason.

The problem I found was certain teachers speaking to the children in a way that was demeaning and inappropriate. I was not the only parent with this problem. I found that this is not the school for any child that may have a learning disability, ADD or ADHD.

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.
