My daughter goes to this school and will not be back next year. They are not a one on one school at all. The kids that need help are just left behind. She was learning so well at home and I'm so sorry we sent her here. She was a quiet child that loved to play with other kids and always played well. Now she complains that she is constantly getting hit at school. The only time we recieve feedback from the school is when our daughter does something wrong. She came home with a huge bruise and told us she was knocked down by a boy in gym class. No note or anything for this huge black bruise from the school. We get notes on the top of our daughter's papers sometimes saying to have her do this she played in class instead of doing it. Our daughter is 6 if she played it was because they let her. Then we are expected to have her do all the work along with her homework for the week as well. Why are we sending her there is we are the ones having her do all the work? They say there is no reason to hold her behind yet at the same time they send reports home saying she needs improvement in everything. We think the teachers just don't want to have her again next year. Don't send a child here.

I have a son that goes to Hamersville Elementry. My son has a disability, I have found that the school is not willing to go the extra mile for students that have trouble learning. I have had a really hard time getting him help in this school. He will not be back at this school next year.

Hamersville School is an awesome school. I have went there all of my life and love it. The classes are small and the teachers give 110% to help us understand what we are working on. I only have one more year at Hamersville then I move to the high school. I'm not looking forward to that too much but I would have to leave it eventually. Whe people ask me what school I go to I am proud to say Hamersville. I love my school and wouldn't swith schools for the world!

Having a school that will challenge your children in many different aspects, is a blessing. We are lucky to have that kind of school in Hamersville. The teachers are friends to their students out of the classroom which helps make them more valued educators in the classroom. The community as a whole is brought together by our school system and we as a community are better for it.

As a parent who has had six children travel the educational path through Hamersville, I can honestly say that I have the deepest respect for this institution. Not all of my children were scholars, but Hamersville treated them all equal and with the amount of respect that they were due. I would recommend this little school to any parent that wanted to give their child a great start in the education process.

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.
