My children have been here for the past 3 years. I love this school. This school has a multitude of different races and the principal, the teachers...the entire staff is great. Parent involvement is great and I love the fact that they have in-school tutoring if you child needs a bit of help with a subject or two.

I imagine that most people that don't want to see change for kids... that don't look like theirs and don't come from the same types of homes, would feel the same way that Mr. Jacobson does. Maybe it's not the kids in the apts., but the kids that grew up there in the neighborhood that are dropping the scores. Other than that comment and that attitude towards kids that have done nothing wrong to these people, I think the school is outstanding. I believe some some people are raising their children to be racist like them and that has an affect on the school. I think the multicultural atmosphere is healthy and needed for this generation of children growing up. I think Englewood Hills displays a wide range of families from all walks of life and they do well with dealing with it. I'm proud of Mrs. Richardson for overcoming odds.

I had children in this school in the 80's. This school has made a turn for the BEST. I now have a niece in 3-4 multiage. I enjoy doing homework w/ her and getting to see the new ways they are being taught. I enjoy the stories she tells about her teacher and the school. The atmosphere is so much happier today than when my 3 children attended it.

This is one of the greatest schools with concerned and caring staff. It is a pleasure to work with this school. I think the nearby apartments with renters moving in and out, is doin gthis school harm on the test scores.

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.
