  • The Proof is in the pudding and here is the proof of how horrible this school is. The teachers and parents that have commented on this site are telling the truth. Visit the site below and read this for yourself from the Ohio State Department of Education. The school is in academic emergency. In other words the school is on the verge of being closed if IMPROVEMENTS are not made IMMEDIATELY. One way to start with immediate improvement is with the administration at the top. Yes, the (...) needs to be replaced regardless of she is the founder of the school.

  • Don't be fooled by what is disguised as a great school with the extracurricular activities that may go on. This school should be closed. I am a veteran experienced teacher and have taught at schools where the students can be challenging at times, however the environment of this school is horrible particularly in the middle school grades. The school lacks true school leadership that is effective and has no clue on how how to effectivley run a school. This school's instruction resembles very much what someone would have experienced in the 80's. The school can not keep teachers or adminstrators on staff. If you are a teacher looking for a job this is not the place you want to be regardless of how desperate you may be in need. Within the first two months of the 2009-2010 school year FIVE TEACHERS QUIT and even more quit throughout the year along with ALL at least two of the principals. They may tell you one thing why people have left the school but You have been warned and given the God honest TRUTH. Now, heed the advice and find somewhere better to work as a teacher and somewhere with an better environment for your child to learn.
