This Highschool is Amazing! sure some of the teachers are a little boring but what school has all exciting teachers. They have a lot of stuff for you to participate in and the majority of the staff there is amazing. Also we have these resource officers, so i always feel safe in case something was to happen and they always break up the few fights that happen. Also, there are a variety of electives you can take like foods, art, orchestra, sociology, drama and so much more. The people there are very friendly too and if you have any problems they have a wonderful guidance office. The school is also pretty laided back about dress code too. They don't really care what you wear as long as it's appropriate. In a lot of classes students can use their phones and calculators and stop watches but we often use phones a lot for taking tests where the teacher puts a question on the board and you answer it by texting in and then it shows everyone's responses. I like taking tests this way,because it takes away the stress of regular ones. Also many teachers use celly which is this thing that allows you to text students the homework and they can text back and ask questions. I recommend this school.

They still have all sports programs and music programs and many activities and not pay to participate If the children and parents are motivated the child (student) can get a excellent education.

Twinsburg schholls are the best i attended and is a great school to learn with best teachers ever


Posted July 20, 2009

Twinsburg is not a good school district for students with disabilities. I especially had problems getting my child's needs met at Twinsburg High School. The administration and teachers I dealt with tended to be unconcerned and uncooperative in meeting IEP needs. My child is doing well out of the district. I just wished I had moved sooner.

Twinsburg City Schools are not up-to-par in terms of teaching skills and techniques. I have attended Twinsburg Schools, and the teachers there do not tend to teach often. I would not recommend anyone attend Twinsburg High School.

Twinsburg is an excellent school district. Parents are very involved in the schools and support the district. There are not a lot of support programs for at-risk students. Twinsburg is growing more diverse and I'm not convinced the district is coping well with the growing population.

There are many academic and extracurricular activities K-8 and the quality of education is excellent until students reach the high school level. I just don't think highly of the high school academic programs, student assistance, assistance for at-risk youth, etc.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Ohio used the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) to test students in grade 10 in reading, writing, math, science and social studies. State averages displayed on public school profiles include public schools only. State averages displayed on private school profiles include private schools only. The OGT is a high school graduation requirement for public schools and chartered private schools. The OGT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Ohio. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.

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.

No Value-Added data was reported for this school.

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.
