Our family moved to the Lewis Center area mid-school year, and our child began attending GOES right away. We did not know anyone in the area, but knew where we wanted to live and which district we wanted our children to attend school in. The staff at the school district level were extremely helpful in making us feel welcome and comfortable. Within 1 week of moving to the area, our child was attending school. The teachers, principal and other kids made him feel welcome and happy to be attending GOES. We have been thrilled with the school, their curriculum and attentiveness to the details of our child's education. The facility is perfect for elementary aged children, and provides good protection from busy streets and highways with its location in the middle of a neighborhood. I would highly recommend this school to any parents looking to give their child a great education with quality school staff. Surrounding neighborhoods have many parks and good walking trails/sidewalks to get around.

Glen Oak is a strong school in a strong school district. I have been very happy with every teacher that both of my school-age children have had, as well as all of the staff. We are very happy with our school.

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.
