Posted May 1, 2013

This is the second school that my children have attended, and I have been extremely pleased. The administration is engaged and does a great job leading the staff. The teachers have done a very good job guiding my children through the curriculum and when there have been issues, they are quick to respond to my concerns. The teachers are also very friendly, even taking time to attend some of the children's community sporting events even if they themselves do not live in the district.

The principal is active and does his best to assist with any issues that come up. I have not experienced teachers that are what I consider approachable or accommodating to students individual needs or parent requests. Of the elementary (5) schools I have dealt with in my life this is the only school I have experienced subpar teacher performance.

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.
