My son really enjoys this school. He's went here for 6th & 7th grade & will be attending 8th grade here next year. My son enjoys being able to go play in the gym after he eats lunch. He also really loves the Ice Cream Socials after school every quarter. I do have concerns over the fact that none of the students get their own books to bring home to do homework. They have books they use in the classroom. It may be a budget thing or just a new way of teaching. Could be the fact that Huber Heights has a very hard time just passing replacement levies let alone new ones. So far, we've never had any problems with any of the teachers.

I saw a good bit of parental involvement when I attended my son's band concert, but I am less than impressed with the administrative staff. In addition to other problems I've had, I am rather concerned about my son's education.

I am a student at Weisenborn and first off it is a great school.The students always come first.The principal is awesome.She not only does her job but she gets to know as many of the kids as possible.And the teachers are amazing.They're not just your teachers because they not only care about your education but they care about you as a person.When something's wrong they make sure you know it's ok for you to talk to them.Like last year our school went through a horrible tradgity.Four students had gotten into a car accident and died. Our teachers made sure that at school we had people to talk to. They made sure that everyone was ok and when you just needed to talk to a friend they allowed that to happen because they knew that if we were upset we wouldn't be able to get any work done.Weisenborn is just amazing!

im 14 years old and i went to weisenborn from 6-8 grade. the principal is great. he is the best principal you can find. i wish my highschool principal was like him. the teachers are good too. every quarter your kids have assemblies to entertain them and theres a faculty challenge with the students and teachers held in the gym. also in the 8th grade you can become a naturalist where you get to help younger and older kids in learning about nature and doing the ropes course. its overall a great school.you cant do sports until 7th grade because they want your child to see how much work they have and then see if they can do sports to. thats a good thing i think.

My daughter went there two years ago. She is now in high school (sophomore). I did like the middle school much better than the high school (Wayne). The principal was very effective at WMS and my daughter received a good education there. She carries a 3.8 GPA (last year's GPA) therefore, she received the education needed to do well in high school.

I think the teachers are really concerned about the students and their education. If they have a problem they always contact the parent and try to help the student to the best of their ability. You also can always talk with teachers if you have a concern about your child. They are friendly,and willing to help at anytime. The principle is always available and very helpful when there is trouble. He also takes time out to get to know the students and their concerns. He doesn't just sit in his office all day. He is out in the halls making sure things are right. This school is the best school I have been to yet.

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.
