We love this school !! We came from private school to here and we love it. We needed special services for our son in Math and Speech. Great principle, special ed teacher, and speech theropists. Also, he has a wonderful second grade teacher. Thank you Buckeye Woods for the best year of school my son has had and all the support and suggestions this year.

I've had one student go through Buckeye Woods and now have another in Kindergarten. This school is amazing. The teachers are terrific as is the staff. I feel my children have and are receiving an excellent education!

I have two children attending Buckeye Woods. The facility is in good shape and well maintained. The teaching staff is excellent. My kids are receiving a good education. My complaints are that the classroom are filled to the state maximum. My son's classroom is in a trailer behind the school for the 2nd time in 3 years. I can't believe the taxes I pay, and my child is left in a trailer. Grove City is the largest growing area in Ohio and the SWCS system has no immediate plans for expanding or building new schools.

All three of my children have attended Buckeye Woods and have had exceptional experiences throughout their years. Parental involvement and caring teachers have helped foster an excellent educational experience. In my mind Grove City's finest elementary school.

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.
