I have been dissatisfied with the way bullying is dealt with at this school. A teacher allows kids to be mean-spirited while doing nothing to stop it. The technology is poor and one of the Social Studies text was copyrighted in 1995 for 6th grade students in 2012. If an important subject such as Soical Studies has not been updated for 12 years, the other subjects are outdated as well. Our family would not recommend this school to any family.

Kids care at Lakeview and show it by their Excellence rating; by their quest towards leadership and service through K-Kids, Club USA, Student Council, Choir, among other groups. Students and staff have come together to honor the Heroes of Flight 93 over the past 9 years, especially, the last couple years through efforts and education in "93 cents for Flight 93", i.e., the incredible quilt created by the entire school for the Heroes of Flight 93 along with their support for the families of Flight 93 over the years; the Veterans Day Breakfast and Recognition Assembly led by Club USA and the K-Kids which are about to put on their second annual Honoring of Veterans and Active Duty family members on November 11, 2010. This is a school who are learning to reach out in their caring in ways most 5th and 6th graders have never imagined. The staff and the student body are working of personal growth even as they learn to work together to realize the good in people and how to celebrate that good through the use of their own gifts for others.

Lakeview is a wonderful school with staff who care about the students, and students who know they are cared for. Every child is taught that all are gifted, just in different areas; and that everyone is called to make a positive difference in the world. We think we are doing just that from our academic achievement to our concentration on emotional intelligence to our offerings in service clubs such as K-Kids and Club USA. We are an awesome school and striving to be even better!

Lakeview is such a great school. Not only is it strong academically but it offers so many extra activities for the kids to participate in.

My son loves his 'team' of teachers, both this year and last. There are plenty of activities available for students outside of the school day. He's made some great friends at Lakeview.

There are so many new friends for my son to meet, and he has taken advantage of the wonderful number of new activities - play, choir, band, orchestra, to become involved in.

Lakeview has phenomenal teachers. They have a great after school arts program that allows students the chance to run & perform a musical each year. Last year, 2 of the staff members worked to bring a national program to the school & by doing so, pioneered the program for the state of Ohio. Staff members did this both during school & on their own time, to help children accomplish learning about taking care of their own health & being proactive where that is concerned. Additionally, they have a fantastic PTA. Lakeview provides children the opportunity to learn to be responsible & has a variety of in-classroom & out-of-classroom experiences that allow children the chance to become well-rounded individuals. They even have great lunches, so much so, that children want to buy lunch at school. Lakeview is part of a school that has been rated Excellent with Distinction for the past 3 years.

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.
