My child received special education services at this school and was a better reader as a result of it. The staff truly cares about the happiness and progress of their students!

Terrible school for any type of special education!! The teachers do not really want parental involvement. The administration at this district has little regard for special education law or for actually helping our children.

Special Education is truly lacking in this school district! If your child needs special ed I would strongly recommend another district. However, if your child does not have special needs it is a wonderful school.

I agree this is an excellent school , and an excellent school system IF your child doesn't have any special education needs...If your child has ADHD, or any type of learning disability please take your children elsewhere...I tried for 3 years to get help for my child who has ADHD. And unless you have money to shell out for private tutors, you have no other options...Their way of handling children with ADHD is telling the parent to up the medication. So if you have a child with no special needs, this is the school for you, if you have a child with special needs bring them somewhere else.

I cannot say enough about this school. From the principal to the teachers the level of professionalism is outstanding. Educating the children is the number one priority and it shows.

Love it! I can't say good enough about it. Both my kids went there and I am glad they did. They both loved Mrs. Pelton very much. She is a wonderful teacher.

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.
