I graduated from Fairport and now I am thankful that my daughter is a Fairport student. Going to a smaller school allows more one-on-one attention for any student needing it and the teachers are more than willing to provide it. Fairport teachers are the most devoted teachers around. Still to this day I'll run in to a teacher I had and they will take the time to check in on my family, work, kids, friends... it's so nice to know they still care almost 10 years later. Just walking into McKinley you can see and feel how much every person on staff loves what they do and give 110%!

I think this school is a great enviroment for the kids. There isn't like a LOT of problems, but even though it is small, the teahcers can pay more attention to the kids, and they do better in school. This is an awesome school, and I really recommend it. I was once a student there, and it was awesome. I learned at lot of great stuff there, and all the teachers were helpful!

I truly believe that McKinley School, under the direction and leadership of Principal, Jane Murphy, is un-surpassed in education, dedication, discipline, self-respect, and above all, integrity! Her ethics and values shine through the teachers, parents, and students. The students truly 'love their school'! McKinley has provided a genuine caring and loving environment for my child. The motto 'No Child Will Be Left Behind' is in fact how it really is here! I simply cannot say enough about the sincerity and commitment of Jane Murphy and her staff as it relates to educating children. They will do whatever is necessary (even if it is above and beyond) to help any child succeed! They are that dedicated! I can honestly say that I do not believe that my child could be in any better environment than he is right now! We are truly fortunate to have this wonderful woman and her staff teaching our children! Highest Praises Here!

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.
