About the Value-Added Measure

In 2007-2008, 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.
Schools that meet the state's growth expectation receive a checkmark and the rating "Met Expected Growth." Schools whose growth is greater than the state's expectation receive a plus sign and the rating "Above Expected Growth." Schools that did not achieve as much growth as the state expected receive a minus sign and the rating "Below Expected Growth."
Ohio's Value-Added Measure is not the same as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), a federal measure which uses different criteria.

Performance Index
84 (2008) 88 (2007) 83 (2006) 74 (2005) Source: OH Dept. of Education, 2007-2008 About the Performance Index 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. Testing in Ohio: An Overview Compare with Performance Index scores from nearby schools

About the Tests

In 2007-2008 Ohio used the Ohio Achievement Test (OAT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, in grades 4 and 7 in writing, and in grades 5 and 8 in science and social studies.
The OAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Ohio.
The different student groups are identified by the Ohio Department of Education. If there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.
The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
