Niche User: I had pretty bad teachers, I felt like they were just...Bad, in general. Security guards are amazing people to know, one occasionally helped me pay for my lunch. Clubs were non-existent, but the school was easy to navigate. Each grade had their own wing, which is helpful. Really diverse, with minorities almost overcoming the white population. Student body was alright, nothing horrible. I was at the middle school before we even had a cafeteria, in my first year we had lunch in a spare gym room that always smelled funny...Read 4 Reviews

Parent: We left Southwestern City Schools. My oldest is 5th-8th grade here. She's a great student &loves it! My youngest started in Kndgtn w/weekly homework&I'm thankful for this. I know if she would have gotten her start anywhere else, she would not be where she is today. They grade on an A-F scale in grades K-11, which I love! Once my youngest showed signs of struggling in reading...I FREAKED! Her having minor speech issues, didn't help with the reading level expected in kndgtn. She did so well in all other areas. She was even further along then cousins in district schools the same age, so when they wanted to retain her in kndgrtn, it was my worst nightmare. I had read&heard of this happening &didn't understand because I absolutely LOVED her teacher,&thought she was doing well. We made the decision to keep her here&I'm thankful. She flew thru her 2nd year with so much confidence. She's now thriving at the end of 1st grade. It's not always easy, but it's...A GREAT SCHOOL!...Read 10 Reviews

Metro Early College High School

• 6-12
• Rating 3.99 out of 5  103 reviews

Junior: Metro Early College High School is an amazing school! The teachers, students, and administrators are all very friendly. The classes are challenging but in a good way, because by "forcing" you to get an A in the class, you end the class truly comprehending the material that you learned. On top of that, by the end of your sophomore year, you can have ALL of your high school credits, because each semester you have four, hour and a half classes. Also, because the school was co-founded by OSU and Battelle, by your senior year, you can be taking ALL college classes at either OSU or Columbus State. My sister graduated in 2018 with 36 OSU college credits; she knows, as a sophomore, holds a junior standing because of all of the extra credits she gained in high school. The best thing about it is that the classes you take are 100% FREE!...Read 103 Reviews

Horizon Science Academy - Lorain

• K-12
• Rating 4.43 out of 5  35 reviews

Senior: I love that the school employs educators that care enough to change their teaching to fit what the students need. The teachers and staff go out of their way to help students and families. They have standards that are meant to be upheld but will work with you if you are struggling or need some lenience in certain situations. The classes are small enough to give that direct communication needed in the classroom, but are large enough to give the students plenty of socialization. The school tries to provide every resource they can to their students. Everyone at Horizon is there because they want the opportunities that HSA gives them in having a future...Read 35 Reviews
