This Elementary school is the best in my opinion in Xenia. The principal is a strong leader who not only stresses excellance in learning but in kindness and respect for peers and the community. It will be a sad thing to see her retire this year. Teachers have moved around so much in this district I can't speak for all of them that are at this school now but I know some excellent teachers that have remained. I like the positive reinforcement of good behavior. Communication is great at this school as well between parents and staff.

Great school, my daughter is in the first grade and we love her teacher Mrs. Richey. She is awesome and my daughter is learning so much. She makes sure that the kids have fun while they learn. The principal is great and she really cares about the kids and the staff.

Great school that really tries to involve the parents. That is a key element of education since most one on one time happens at home. Excellent job!

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.
