This school is awful. I tried this school with my daughter and it was terrible. The teachers don't care. You don't have any books it's all computer work that you must scan in. There is no field trips for the kids to attend and the kids are not allowed to be on any of the jr. high or high school athletic teams even though they are considered a public school for lancaster. I transfered my daughter to OHVA and could not be happier they have books and the parents are more involved in the kids education and the teachers are wonderful. They even had a special day at Fort Rapids Water Park for the kids and their families. OHVA is a much better solution if you want to go this route of schooling the kids at home. I would not recommend Lancaster Digital Academy to anyone.

If my kid gets stuck on anything the teacher e-mail her, and they are always willing to help. If you ever have a problem with the work or with the computer she always gets an e-mail back with help the same day.

No Value-Added data was reported for this school.

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.

The OGT is a high school graduation requirement for public schools and chartered private schools.

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.
