Great school. Wish they would focus less on dress code because in all respect the board of education needs changed not the schools. Kids are good to each other for the most part as long as they start out on the right foot. Parent-Student-Teacher communication is a wonderful system so the kid knows where EVERYONE stands. Staff goes out of their way to make these students comfortable. The rules are pathetic but the kids best interest is in mind!

My child is now in his 3rd year at this school. He has had opportunities I never had in Worthington SD. These kids can take algebra, geometry and Spanish before entering high school and it counts toward their high school credits. I also have the ability to track test grades and homework before I go to the parent/teacher conferences. The teachers believe in the kids and push them. When your child does well they have special recognition breakfast for those kids as well as a rewards ceremony at the end of the year. I receive phone calls saying what I can do to help my child do well on statewide tests. I have had the teacher call asking why my child fell asleep in class twice in a week. I've also had the the science teacher that gave my son a chance to bring up his grade with home experiments. Also, I've watch the principal ensure my son didn't get hit by a car in the busy parking lot. These people truly care about your kids. I feel my child will learn more about life and schooling by attending this school. I'm a proud parent of a Rosemore student. Be an effective parent, the teachers only get so much time with your child.

My child attends this school. They seem to care more about dress code and calling home bothering parents to inform them of each minor violation. My child was a good student at his previous school, no problems at all. This school has broken him down into this person that I don't even know anymore. He wont be attending this school any longer. I'm doing online schooling from this point on.

I currently have 2 children attending Rosemore middle school. I think Rosemore is a good middle school and my children are doing well. When one of my children grades started to slip, the teachers notified me and gave me weekly reports on my child grades and behavior. I believed that the teachers truly cared about how my child did in their classes. I believe the communication and the teacher-student-parent partnership is the key to having our children be successful in school no matter what school your child attends.

I think the parents would be more involved if they were asked to be. I know I have never felt like I was needed.I go to parent teacher meetings. Other than that I have never been asked to to any more. I would if I knew what more was needed.

I belive children have a safe place to learn at rosemore.Children can learn as much as they want at this school but kids will only learn what they want as for the sports programs they would be great if you would hire coaches that knew what they are doing not have the kids teach eachother

This school is okay not so good and not so bad.But they should let 6th grade participate in extracurricular activities.
—Submitted by a student


Posted April 13, 2005

Lets start with the sports program if you are going to have 6th graders in the building you should let them parpicapte you let them feel left out of these activites. Witch in turn makes them feel left out of school functions as far as parent envolvment goes thats a joke unless its for sports.

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.
