New School
Rankings
Kenston ranked 35th out of 936 schools in new school rankings recently released by Ohio Department of Education triggered by House Bill 153. The rankings are currently based on the performance index score. Additional factors will be added to rankings that will be released next fall.
What is the Performance Index?
The performance index rewards the achievement of every student, not just those who score proficient or higher. All assessments have five performance levels which include: advanced, accelerated, proficient, basic and limited. The percentage of students scoring at each performance level is calculated and then multiplied by the point value assigned to that performance level.

Food for Thought
 Play Blue, Promoting Learning through Active Youth, incorporates wellness goals and "New Physical Education" curriculum with an emphasis on nutrition and education. Play Blue is not just part of gym class. Many teachers across the district are finding that mixing physical activity into regular class work helps to stimulate the brain and increase attention and focus. These "Brain Breaks" are short activity breaks using coordinated movement and, typically, aerobic activity to stimulate the brain. Dr. Dan Lawler, consultant for the Exercise 4 Learning organization, recently presented to Kenston faculty. He stated that "Brain Breaks" are transition strategies, that invest a little time for excercise and has greater returns in students' attention, behavior and help learning. Brain Breaks in Action Fresh Pick Recipe of the Month - Herb Roasted Veg. |
