Jackson Local School District
School District
Massillon, OH
Rating 4.59 out of 5 74 reviews
#11 Best School Districts in Cleveland Area
Senior: I feel I received the best education possible as a student in the Jackson Local School District. I’ve always received great responses and assistance from my teachers and felt they cared for their students. I was very fortunate my parents moved in this area as I have enjoyed my school years as a Jackson Polar Bear. Even when the COVID pandemic arose, Jackson Local School District was continuously informative to not only the students but parents. They also took the time to get input from both students and parents to figure which was the best action to take for safety precautions. In addition, they provided resources to help with the isolation and any other issues that may have needed addressed.

Westlake City School District
School District
Westlake, OH
Rating 4.24 out of 5 41 reviews
#14 Best School Districts in Cleveland Area
Senior: The Westlake school district overall is a very balanced place of education with a lot of opportunities as you travel your education path. As a student of Westlake I've always felt relatively welcome by the staff, never once being looked down upon. I've never felt bullied or attacked by other students and overall it's a rather calming place. As with every high school nothing is perfect and I can't say there's anything too outstanding about the school district either. It's just a nice community with a fantastic education, because that's where Westlake really excels. Westlake has some of the best teachers and resources in the area, while there are a lot of bad teachers in the non-honors track as an honors student I've felt that the vast majority of my teachers have a fantastic and unique way of teaching that really appeals on a per-student basis. That's why I think Westlake is such a great school, not for its administration, its facilities, or sports but because of its fantastic teachers

Shaker Heights City School District
School District
Shaker Heights, OH
Rating 4.41 out of 5 32 reviews
#15 Best School Districts in Cleveland Area
Senior: Shaker Heights is a great school district. As a student, I take pride in the quality of the academics and courses offered. There is a multitude of diversity amongst the students, faculty, and staff. The community creates safe environments for all, and there is always a sense of unity and togetherness. There is a great number of extracurriculars, clubs, and activities, as well as classes. I appreciate the teachers, they advocate for students and truly are invested in helping open doors of opportunity. I enjoy that everyone unifies to rally and support one another in times of need. The value of education is stressed and is shown when students come to school eager and ready to learn.

Strongsville City School District
School District
Strongsville, OH
Rating 4.16 out of 5 51 reviews
#24 Best School Districts in Cleveland Area
Alum: I had a great overall experience throughout my time in the Strongsville City School District. This school district is very well rounded in terms of academics, sports, as well as opportunities outside the classroom. Once I reached the high school level there were many choices to diversify my class schedule and take the classes that most interested me rather than what everyone was required to take. In terms of involvements outside the classroom I had the opportunity to get involved in National Honors Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Key Club, Optimist Club, Mustang Mentors, DARE, and DECA, but my involvements don't even cover half of how many organizations Strongsville has. Strongsville City School District has taught me from a young age how to prepare for my future, and now that it is here, I wouldn't have wanted to attend school in any other district.

Berea City School District
School District
Berea, OH
Rating 3.92 out of 5 39 reviews
#57 Best School Districts in Cleveland Area
Senior: I've always had a strong sense of feeling at home while in my school. The powerful atmosphere within Berea schools is unparalleled to what I've seen from other districts. Although not perfect, with a fair list of issues ranging from mediocre leadership to difficulties maintaining the school buildings, the positives displayed in the district far outweigh the negatives. I have constantly found myself wishing I could stay at school for a few more hours and work more on my biggest projects. My school allows for a wide range of classes and extracurriculars to choose from, sometimes making it difficult for me to leave my work until the next day simply because I love being there so much. Many of my teachers have gone above and beyond what I'd expect from simple core classes, constantly keeping the whole class engaged in a thriving learning environment. With the addition of two newly built schools, I'm very excited to see how Berea City Schools further expands on what it already does so well.

Oberlin City School District
School District
Oberlin, OH
Rating 3.5 out of 5 10 reviews
Junior: My favorite thing about Oberlin is the diversity and the closeness to Oberlin College. These characteristics create so many great opportunities that every student should take advantage of. While the sports aren't the best, the school definitely has school spirit, and the presence of some of the amazing teachers 100% outweigh the not-so-good ones.

Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District
School District
University Heights, OH
Rating 4.04 out of 5 51 reviews
Alum: Cleveland Heights High School was a great and eye-opening high school to attend. As a recent graduate, class of 2018, I got to see so much improvement and the great building renovations that took place. The classes were great and had a lot to offer, honors, and ap courses. As well as great faculty who genuinely cared about students. However, there were a lot of fights that went on almost everyday between students which is not a good atmosphere.

Akron City School District
School District
Akron, OH
Rating 3.66 out of 5 53 reviews
Alum: The teachers were incredibly supportive of my career choice. I was in a program with First Energy to have employment immediately after graduation but COVID changed that. I enrolled at the University of Akron and decided to pursue Marketing and my high school teachers supported that decision. They even helped me find part-time employment until college classes started.

St. Stephen's and St. Agnes School
Private School
Alexandria, VA
PK, K-12
Rating 4.4 out of 5 116 reviews
Parent: We have experienced the lower, middle, and upper schools and our children have had extraordinary teachers who have taken the time to get to know and appreciate them as individuals. Small class size (around 16 kids per class) contributes to this, but it’s just as much about the genuine interest and care that they show our children. Every time our teenagers rave about their teachers at dinner (a frequent occurrence!) my wife and I feel so fortunate that the strong connections they formed with teachers in the Lower School have been replicated in the other divisions. Our kids have different strengths and interests and they have each found a home and great friends through academics, the arts and athletics. Speaking of the arts, our daughter was so excited to watch the Tonys with friends and then learn that next year’s theater/arts trip to NYC will include seeing Hadestown and having dinner with the cast!
