Garrettsville – Our students continue to perform at amazing levels. Academically they exceed expectations. On the latest report card they ranked among the best schools in the region. Our sixth graders set a JAG record as 92% passed the state reading test. Eighth grade students also set a JAG record with 95.8% passing the state reading test. Our seventh graders also set JAG records in math (90.7%) AND reading (96.3%) on the state tests. Finally, our fourth graders performed at the highest levels as they achieved 100% passage on their state reading test!
While testing is how the state ranks our schools, our students excel in so many more areas. For example, JAG High School students earned 102 college credits through dual enrollment and AP courses. Our band continues to impress at band shows across the area, and even performed at the Hiram College Homecoming game!
Our teachers are awesome. Students perform at high levels, but behind every high test score, academic accolade or athletic achievement there is a team of hard working teachers.
Members of our community have come to expect to see and experience excellence from their schools. You have supported our school system, and this support has been crucial to our excellence. This is what we all expect from our students and one another. Great communities are made even stronger with great schools. We are committed to excellence and will continue to look at ways we can improve.
As I reflect on my first year as the Superintendent of your schools, I am assured our community is the best place to live, work and learn. My expectations match those of our students, staff and community……..excellence in all aspects of what we do!
As always, I invite you to contact me directly in the office (330.527.4336), on my cell (216.534.7413) or by email (tlysiak@jagschools.org) if you ever have any questions or ideas to share.
Go G-Men!
