Senior: Wellington High School is smaller than many schools, which means I have an opportunity to get to know people better. It feels more like a family school. The classroom size are small enough that you can get personalized attention from the teacher. Every teacher I have ever had there has been willing to take the time to help me if I needed it. They seem to really care about the students. There are many opportunities to get involved in extracurricular activities at Wellington...Read 50 Reviews

Senior: I have been very pleased with my experience at St. Charles. When I was an incoming Freshman I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised with the strong academics and culture. I think it has prepared me for college more so than any other school in the state of Ohio would have been able to and has allowed me to create strong friendships along the way. Our sports programs are some of the most competitive in the Columbus area. They give the students room to grow as an athlete and as an individual. St. Charles Prep. truly shines in its teaching of the maths and sciences. It has some of the best teachers in those subjects, and they can be helpful if you thinking of going into a field with a heavy emphasis on those subjects. St. Charles Prep. has taught me how to manage my time, strengthen my academics, and help me create lifelong relationships. Overall I think that St. Charles has something for every student, and I would recommend it to everyone...Read 73 Reviews

Middle School Student: I've been going to NSA since diapers. Currently, I am in the ninth grade, and I have already received access to so many opportunities. Along with education, NSA focuses on making everyone from everywhere feel welcome in our community. Sure, we have had our rough spots, but hasn't everyone? When I have trouble or drama, NSA is my safe haven to be myself. My teachers' goal is to help students achieve theirs. Honestly, so many of my teachers at NSA have helped shape my bright future. I am always eager to learn, and I always feel welcome in their classes. Along with this, I have always found NSA to be so creative and clever. There are so many fun social activities, especially the pep rallies and football games! Overall, NSA has taught me skills that will last me a lifetime. From making friends, to prioritizing education, NSA will always be my home. I wouldn't have anything else for the world...Read 62 Reviews

The teachers and faculty are approachable and make time to talk to you about anything -- whether it's to further your academics, life advice, or just to get to know you better.

Senior: I came to this school my junior year (currently a senior) and I love it. The faculty are all amazing and truly care about each and every student. The only downsides I would mention are mostly due to the small size of the school. I enjoy having smaller class sizes, but a limited amount of students also means less available classes to take, like AP classes or electives. The social climate can also be difficult to adjust to, and students can be very cliquey, but the friends I have met have been really great. Overall, very happy I made the switch!...Read 61 Reviews

Alum: Columbus Alternative High School (CAHS) changed my life forever. I entered CAHS in 2013 as a intercity student who never saw to much of a future for myself. Although, by the time I graduated CAHS in 2017 I expected nothing less than excellence from myself. They offer AP and IB classes to their students for free which allowed me to earn college credits right at my own high school. CAHS was constantly taking into consideration that there are students from all over the district and teaching on a very personalized basis. The teachers and administrators put learning first and do everything they can to help you achieve your goals including college application workshops. I have nothing negative to say about CAHS besides they need a new building because the current one is very old. Oh, and no sports! Unless you play ultimate frisbee!...Read 263 Reviews

Senior: Watterson is a good school academically, and has many different class options for different learners. The different levels make it so those who excel in a certain subject are challenged, and so that those who may struggle more can go at a slower pace to help them understand better. Watterson also offers many different clubs and sports, so there are so many ways to get involved in the school. It would be difficult to not find something interesting to join there. However, Watterson has lacked in mental health outreach, specifically for freshmen. But they continue to work on it and have made great improvements in the past few years...Read 114 Reviews

Senior: Bishop Ready is a school where not too many people coming in may know each other, but as time goes by they will become friends and have love and faith in one another. Bishop Ready is a well rounded school with many different diversities. No matter what color you are the students all love and respect each other as one. The administration and staff preach faith, love, and respect to always remind the students how they should behave and act. The school culture needs a bit more energy towards it. I think this can happen by having pep rally’s before games or even just having more events for the students to come together and just enjoy being at school...Read 130 Reviews

Senior: My experience with Grove City Christian School has been great! When I first came to the school in the 6th grade ( I am now a Senior in high school) I was very nervous because I was going to be the new kid which can be tough and with Grove city Christian school's reputation this meant I was going to have to get used to a more advanced school than I had been used to. I was going to have to make new friends as well. However, on the first day, the people that I met were all very welcoming and sweet to me. They even assigned a buddy to show me around the school. I believe my time here at GCCS has been crucial to the development of my character as well. Of course, it is not secluded from the rest of the world just because it is a Christian school but it has surrounded me with the values I would like to and will uphold for the rest of my life...Read 94 Reviews

Senior: Overall I think Eastmoor Academy is a great school. Being the home of a Biomedical Sciences pathway program inspired me to enter the biology major in college. When I attended Eastmoor i experienced a variety of different students and teachers. Diversity was celebrated in ways of talent shows, plays, academic achievement ceremonies and many more. The part that I loved the most at Eastmoor were the loving staff members. They treated you like their own children, if you needed any type of help there were multiple staff members who could help you. There was never a day where a teacher didn't check up on me to make sure i'm on my "A game". I was overall a loving and supporting environment that made sure you succeeded...Read 152 Reviews
