Quite impressive. My alma mater Finneytown dropped to Continuous Improvement for not meeting AYP .

Wyoming is a great area for sure. If I'm not mistaken, Cincinnati proper has one of the top public HS's in the US as well.

Walnut Hills is always grabbing the top spot in something or other too. It's to the city of Cincinnati what Stuyvesant is to NYC or Latin is to Boston, the crown jewel of a raggedy system. The difference with Wyoming (Madeira, Sycamore, etc too) is that the educational quality is second-to-none from kindergarten on.
Finneytown is still the anti-Wyoming, lol, where a lot of people who were raised in Cowboyland move to bring up their families. If you'd just as soon live in a ranch, split-level, or Cape from the late '40s to '60s as in a Tudor or Colonial or Victorian - with a considerably lower property-tax and snobbery rate to boot - it's the logical choice.

You will see a lot of school districts in Ohio dropping positions due mostly to the AYP score. Same thing happened with Hartwell School.

AYP stands for Adequate Yearly Progress and it is a set of goals for Reading, Math, Proficiency and Participation, Attendance and Graduation Rates. The Goals are applied to 10 student groups. In the past the State has not used the testing results from Students with Disabilities, this year they did include those scores...thing is, out of the 10 groups that are tested, if even ONE group does not met the requirements, your AYP is considered "not met".

goyguy,

You are the ultimate "homer," but I enjoy your posts. We moved to Wyoming 25 years ago after my company was bought by P&G and loved it there. Our kids went through Wyoming schools, and as different as they each were, each found their niche and flourished. Great people, community spirit, and level headed community government. We left after the kids graduated and moved away (Chicago, Cleveland, New York) and we retired. We now live in Tennessee but still have many friends in Wyoming, at Maketewah, and Cincinnati in general.

Regarding one of your other posts GREATERS, and we still stock up on Gleiers getta everytime we pass thru town.

Jeff in TN

PS My daughter was a cheerleader for Wyoming, so we never missed a game, or a cheer.
