OAKVIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS THE BEST SCHOOL FOR MY FAMILY! My 3 kids who currently attend love they're teacher's, staff, friend's, and all the parent's they meet. They love learning because the teacher's make it so exciting and as a parent I am so happy with my kid's progress because of Oakvie's concern, patience, and interest in my children's education. I would like to see the outside field's and inside gym used for after-school intermeral's available free to ALL Oakview Student's; ran by teacher, staff, community, and parent volenteer's; equiptment paid for ny donation's! And I'd like to see after school free tutoring programs possably held in the cafeteria, library, or wherever in Oakview building, also with the help of volenteer's. I have many ideas but need to get involved myself so keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to sharing many more year's together with Oakview! Thank-yo all so very much for everything you do for our family, and other's! Respectfully Your's, The Hawkins Family

HORRIBLE!!! My nephew just got out of the 5th grade, and is very depressed. He was treated so bad, and other parents are outraged with what they saw as well. We have had several parents come up to us during the summer, wanting to know how my nephew is doing. They all have the most horrible stories with what they saw. The school would do nothing to stop the bullying from the teacher. Choose a different school for your child!

I would like to offer Oakview a standing ovation, they have truly grasped the concept of a modern school and work together to individually meet the need of each & every student in the building. No one is left behind or held back from achieving greatness. They spend the first few weeks of school testing these kids in & out, the results are compiled & indidual plans are made. If your child is gifted with an ability to perform beyond what's expected they catch it as early as kindergarten & differentiate their lessons in every aspect from spelling list, homework, math expectatations & more. I feel very confident that I couldn't BUY a better education for my child. Thanks Oakview!!! You ROCK!

Outstanding school. I've been very pleased with the teachers and staff here. The curriculum is diverse and challenging, and the parental involvement is fantastic. This is what you want...solid, excellent education with a family feel at a public school.

All at Oakview are very concientious, and great for their (our) kids! It is a fun, and complete program, including many many opportunities for extra-curricular programs. The care program is very good before and after school too!

This is a great little school. I currently have a 2nd grader and my older child attended oakview for 3 years, we have had a wonderful experience for the entire duration. I have to add that the parent involvement here is quite high, a nice touch indeed.

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.
