I'm a student a Wickliffe Middle School. Every staff member is involved and is devoted to making us better in school and cares so much about our safety. Also, parents are really involved, PATT (parents and teachers together). I love it!!!

This school is amazing. My one child has been going here for 4 years and my other has been going for 3. The above and beyond program is outright amazing. Principals and teachers are kind and curtious and always great you with a smile. Thanks Wickliffe Staff!

This school is basically amazing. We have a ton of school spirit and everyone's friendly. The teacher's are excellent and help students in need. New students are welcome and will always find someplace to blend in! The cirriculum really helps you to learn and I would never go to any other school!

My daughter has been in Wickliffe Schools since 1998. I wouldn't have it any other way! They've taught her to use responsibility (something with she at first had none of) and that's helped her with her homework and all in all made her a better person. The teachers are friendly, the students help you fit right in, and the gifted and talented program had challenged my daughter immensely. 5 stars, hands down.

My child has been at Wickliffe middle school since 2005 and all of the teachers have been wonderful as well as helpful and understanding. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone.

My child only started in wickliffe schools sytems since sept of 05, it was a awful expereince from day one. From not feeling very welcomed to favoritism from teachers to certain students. A child who tries very hard to raise his grades and no matter what that child does, they still give bad grades too. Teachers showing no respect to children or parents! such a shame that a child has to be treated this way! I do not reccomend this school system to anyone!

In this school there are always those little things that most schools have, but for the most part, it is a healthy and happy place for children to learn in. Most of the teachers are really nice and do not show to much favoritism and I would say except for a few, they make learning fun!

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.
