Performance Index measures the test results of every student, not just those who earned a passing/proficient score.

Kenston Schools' Report Card shows that the district's efforts have resulted in our second highest Performance Index score of 108.1, which equates to an A. Both Kenston High School and Timmons Elementary School have earned scores of over 110.  The District Report Card also reflects continued success in meeting all State Indicators (24), earning Kenston an A grade in the percentage of students passing the State assessments.

In many areas of the Report Card, we do very well, while there are others that we need to further address.  We continue to examine our disappointingly low value-added scores in the areas of overall student growth and Special Education.  Whether you agree with how the score is calculated or not, we must address our student's growth from year to year in reading and math.  How will we improve value-added to impact individual student growth and performance?  We will examine the testing data of individual teachers and students to identify and remedy areas of concern.  That will include reviewing instructional materials, and curriculum pacing to target specific ways that we can improve our student progress and growth.

"Over the last two years, the State Report Card has changed in terms of structure and format," said Superintendent Nancy Santilli.  "The Report Card is a tool created by the Ohio legislature to measure educational expectations.  We believe the Performance Index score and related rankings are one way to monitor districts' progress.  We are proud of the Kenston Schools and our accomplishments, but we will always strive to improve. We believe that our students' success in life goes beyond test scores."

Keeping your hands washed can make a huge impact on yours and your families' health, especially coming up on flu season. Did you know nearly 80% of all infectious diseases are transmitted through touch?  Transmitting through touch includes any surfaces, not just from person to person. Think about your day and how many times your skin makes contact with surfaces. Studies show that you need at least 15 seconds of hand washing to reduce skin bacteria. So, lend a hand by keeping yours clean!
