Committed to educating the whole child, the staff of Greenfield Exempted Village Schools works daily to improve classroom instruction. An important part of that improvement is guided by assessment data collected by teachers. This data infoms teachers of each student's progress on their learning path.
Multiple forms of student achievement data are used by teachers to inform instruction daily. Forms of data include classroom assessments, MAP growth and proficiency data, as well as state test results. Classroom instruction is tailored to meet each student’s need as shown through these forms of assessment. Teams of teachers meet regularly to discuss student progress and to plan strategies for increasing student achievement. Targeted interventions are also put into place for all students to provide extra support or enrichment.
Each school year the students in grades 3 - 12 take part in the Ohio State Tests. These tests measure the proficiency level of every individual student. During the 2018-19 school year, students took a total of 22 state tests that contributed to our state report card. Out of those 22 tests, our scores beat the state average in 16 tests.
Upon completion of testing, student scores are compiled and analyzed by the Ohio Department of Education. According to the analyzation of scores and additional factors, our district is graded on an A - F scale in six areas. The areas include Achievement, Gap Closing, K-3 Literacy, Progress, Graduation Rate, and Prepared for Success. The table below provides an explanation of each component, as well as the grade received by the district for the 2018 - 2019 school year.
