THere are so many great things going on at Heritage Middle School. Kids are involved in clubs, activities, sports and the community. Unfortunately, like all schools kids don't always make good decisions. But the environment at Heritage is improving and the teachers truly care about all students.

I feel blessed my child had Mrs.Kaplan, Mrs.Kline, and Mrs.Lord for teachers. They are the only good thing at Hobart. It is a dangerous school, children are always fighting, the authorities are frequently present and consistantly has way below average test scores. I have transferred my child to another school, and would not recommend Hobart to any parent that cares about their child and academic achievment.

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.
