Ada students' 2015 preliminary state tests scores outstanding
Ada students experienced outstanding scores in the Ohio Department of Education’s 2015 spring tests, according to figures released in November by the ODE.
Dr. Suzanne Darmer, Ada superintendent, told The Icon: "Overall, our students performed well on the 2014-2015 state tests.
“Recognizing that these results are preliminary, our teachers continue to align their instruction to Ohio's Learning Standards in preparation for the 2015-2016 state tests.
“Most importantly, our teachers put their hearts into their teaching and understand that student success is based on much more than a test score. We strive for a well-rounded educational program.”
When compared to all other Hardin County Schools, here’s how Ada’s individual classroom scores stacked up (these are approximate numbers).
