Each school year, Springboro Schools students participate in the Ohio State Tests. These tests are designed to measure how well students master the knowledge and skills they should have in each grade according to Ohio’s Learning Standards.
How are the test scores used?
Our focus is on individual student growth, and we realize that the test is only one snapshot in time. In Springboro Schools, the results are another tool to know your child and to continue improving our local schools. We use data—including standardized test scores—to drive instruction, to differentiate, to connect with our students, and to find the individual ways that engage, prepare, inspire, and challenge all learners.
The scores are also used by the State of Ohio in our district’s report card, which is released each fall. In addition to the state report card, we analyze the achievements of our students across a broad range of courses, competitions, and activities. We look at a variety of factors that illustrate our district’s performance: Advanced Placement course participation and scores, ACT and SAT scores, graduation rate, and student growth on the Measure of Academic Performance (MAP) assessments.
