I've had 3 kids in this school so far (total of 13 years between the 3) and we love it! The principal learns every child's name, cares for them, and is very approachable. The teachers have been wonderful (save 1) and our kids love going to school each day. We're moving soon and Robinwood will be a tough act to follow. Upgrades this past year include a new wing with music room, art room, classrooms, and all-new flooring throughout the school. Recently made the building more energy-efficient by downscaling windows.

My kids have been to schools all over this country. We were a military family. Now that we do not move around we wanted to find a good school for our kids. I can say without a doubt in my mind this is the best school we have ever had our kids enrolled in. This school goes above and beyond what you can imagine. No concern is ignored. The teachers and staff take great joy in teaching children. We have an autistic son and they have also been extremely proactive in his special needs. I can not say enough about this wonderful blessing. It is a jewel! The principal is to be commended. Thank you for caring about the kids.

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.
