Posted February 2, 2012

I talked to the gentleman who handles the Autism/Special Needs students today as we are looking at transferring schools due to moving. Let me be the first to rate this school on how approachable they are. This very wonderful man took an hour (at the end of a busy day and the school closing) to talk to me about my son (who has Autism) and the classes they offer, how the schooling and teaching operates, the bus system, the lunch room times, every question was answered without "him-hawing" or stammering. We cant say names on here (but you know who you are if you ever read this) I look forward to our children going to your school!!

The teachers at this school are highly trained teachers. Multiple student issues are dealt with besides the 'big' issue of academics. I've never workedwith such dedicated and talented people as these.

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.
