My daughter attends the preschool here! We love it! Her teacher is Mrs. Bingham and we can't say enough about her. She provides a loving, nurturing and wonderful educational experience. The way she implements the lesson plans is creative and amazing. My daughter is excited to go to school everyday and she learns so much!

My son and daughter simply love Liberty Tree Elementary. They started school at Wyandot and then, through re-districting, moved to Liberty Tree. Now, I am hoping that they end their elementary years here and do not need to move onto another school. The teachers have been absolutely wonderful for this past two years. The school is very clean (which is refreshing). We are very pleased with this school.

I have never worked in a more friendly and student focused building. Every member of the staff is willing and wants to collaborate to make Liberty Tree the best it can be. Parents are supportive of teachers and their children. What a great place to be!

My daughter began 3rd grade at Liberty Tree this first year it opened. We were redistricted to Liberty Tree from Indian Springs, and truthfully, we were very reluctant to move because we were satisfied with Indian Springs. Well, this year has been wonderful. I cannot say enough about Principal Bachman, and her choice of staff! I expected the first years to be rough for the new school, and inexperienced teachers, but instead I have been surprised, oversatisfied, and thrilled with the great education my daughter is receiving, as well as the extra curricular activies offered, from Invention Convention, to keyboard recitals in Music, an excellent art class, a Talent Show, etc. I am also thrilled that she tested in the highest percentile on the 3rd grade standardized reading test. I hate to admit it, and never thought I would, but I think Liberty Tree is one of the best schools!

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.
