I love Reid Schools because it has top professional teachers. Some of them are from Wittenburg, Clark State, Ohio State,and Wright State. I feel safe going to this Reid. It has a wonderful environment and it has high standards. I'm proud [to be] a student at Reid.

All the teachers that I have come into contact with are all very warm and wonderful caring people. They love each and every child in their classrooms and they cry at the end of the year when the children move on to the next grade. The open communication between parent/teacher/principal is wonderful and is one huge outstanding feature that I really appreciate about this school. The Parent Resource Room is also a wonderful added bonus for children/parents/teachers all combined. Thanks for heading this wonderful school and developing our future leaders in our World.

I would like to give a very big thank you to the administrators at Reid! You have helped my child and her friends through a very effective learning method. In the last couple of weeks I learned that the guidence councler from when my daughter was in 2nd grade. (She is now in 8th) She spokewith her and my daughter came home from school soo touched that she got to see her again. When adults make themselves that good of a role model to chiildren at a younger age, you tend to not forget that. I would like to thank Mrs. George for making that big of an impact on my daughter's life!!! I hope that many more people in the future will have that good of memorys from the school they grew up in! Have many more memorys be made in an excelllent school! Thank you for your time!

I haven't liked the ways of the principal for a very long tim, but after the new one I feel more safe knowing that my child is in a safe learning enviroment. She can learn a lot better with all of the testing going on to keep us parents up to date and knowing the progress reports of our children. Thank you for your time.

My daughter has learned lots of fun phonics chants to help her with reading. She is in first grade and was already reading on a second grade level. I feel this gives her a great boost. There is a new brownie troop available to the girls to join and get to know each other. My daughter is a part of the troop and really enjoys the friends and troop leaders! the transportaion department is most accomodating. I have appreciated their flexibility. The principal is very friendly. She will speak to the children and families no matter where she sees them. My daughter was the first student the principal met to start her first year at reid school. The principal, mrs. Young, got down on my daughter's level and spoke to her as if her words really meant something to her. There is a very active pto! wow! they are always working on some great project.

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.
