Though Buckeye Trail is a wonderful school when it comes to their teaching, they aren't very strong when it comes to LGBT students such as myself. Please keep that in mind if your child is LGBT. However, us students who are such are working on changing that.

I had the priviledge to complete my ten week student teaching at the high school. I was sad to leave the district and would send my own children to east guernsey without hesitation. It's a wonderful district that works well together to meet the goals of the district for success.

I attend BTHS and the school's curriculum is perfect for any future scholar. What I love about BTHS is that if you're meant to excel and do good in school they will let you, as soon as you enter high school the kids who mess around and don't care about their work are quickly seperated from the students who want to do good and want to go to college they are given the opportunity to excel instead of being held back by other kids who only pull each other down. Recommend for the parent who wants their child to do extremely well!

Buckeye Trail is a fantastic rural school. My daughters are excel in the curriculum; achieving test scores in the upper 98% of the national range which means only 2% of students in the nation score higher. This is a great reflection on the teachers.

The sports here are great! I really like Buckeye Trail's sports because almost everyone gets to play (its not just the same people over and over again. But in Cambridge or maybe Meadow Brook, Its the same people over and over again. I think their academic programs are great! I go to school here well , Middle school(7th grade). Buckeye Trail is excellent!

I would like to see the administraters talk to the students about bullying. I would like to see them have an assembly about bullying. My sister comes home crying because she is being picked on by the other kids. It is upsetting when they put sports first instead of educating kids about life.

About the tests

In 2010-2011 Ohio used the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) to test students in grade 10 in reading, writing, math, science and social studies. State averages displayed on public school profiles include public schools only. State averages displayed on private school profiles include private schools only. The OGT is a high school graduation requirement for public schools and chartered private schools. The OGT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Ohio. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.

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.

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.
