Bloomfield is about as good as elementary schools get. There are a few bad teachers, some bully problems but unfortunately, that is everywhere. Bloomfield has that small town feel and the children feel safe and comfortable there, atleast mine do. There is an overcrowding problem do to too much new home construction. the city is growing too quickly. I grew up here and it was much better when I was a child and it was truely a close knit small town, that is the only big problem I foresee.

I am very pleased with Edgewood city schools they have helped my children more than any other school has and both my children have went to Middletown city schools and also Preble Shawnee and my kids have not been happy since we left the school district and now that we are moving back to Edgewood they are as happy as ever and cant wait to get back! Thanks Edgewood!!!!

When my family moved to Trenton in Jan. of 07 I was concerned about my daughter attending Kindergrden for only a half day. In Kentucky she attended for a full day. I thought that Bloomfields kindergarden class would be behind my daughters old class. I quickly found out that I was wrong. As a matter of fact my daughter had some catching up to do. My daughter also has a speech delay and I was pleased about how well the school worked to make sure that her speech therapy continued. In short the school system is why my husband and I decided that we will buy a home here in Trenton. We want to make sure that both of our children are getting a great education and we believe that will happen here.

Bloomfield is an excellent school, in an excellent school district! The only problem with Edgewood is that there are too many kids, and not enough funding to build the proper facilities. They have 1,000 students in an elementary school! If you want your children to receive a good education, Edgewood School District is highly recommended!

Bloomfield Elementary has the potential to be a great elementary school. My children have attended there for 4 years. I have experience wonderful teachers but I have also experienced teachers who are only there for a paycheck. If you don't want to make a difference in the lives of the children that come into your classroom, then you should not be a teacher.

This is a wonderful school that makes me feel they truly want me involved as a parent. I believe the staff members that I have met truly care about the students and any parent concerns.

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.
