I've waited a long time before finally publishing this review. I actually wrote it a while back,…read morebut decided against putting it up, because it could have directly affected my job (and not in a good way). But recently I left that job, and after a lot of thought and consideration I think this review needs to be seen. Let me begin first by telling you what my job was. I was the director for a learning center. A tutoring center to be more precise. While we did a number of things, we mainly worked with students who were struggling in school, mostly with reading or math. Now part of my job as the director was to reach out to the various schools and school districts in our area and try to provide them with either free resources or work with the teachers of the students that we had coming to our center, to see what we could all accomplish together for the child. And that brings us to Clermont Northeastern Elementary School. I know this page is for the entire school district, but based on my experience mostly with the elementary school and with some interaction with the other two schools, I think this review will fit here just fine. Of all the area schools, the vast majority of kids that came to see us came from this district, specifically the elementary school. And these kids weren't just a little behind. These kids were years behind. And yet the school kept passing them. When I met with the principle, she didn't show any interest in free material that I was offering to help the students that could be used by the whole school. Teachers were very difficult to get in contact with and when I was able to, it was clear that most of them cared little for their students. We had one student who was in fifth grade, and he couldn't even read at a kindergarten level. He couldn't even read the words "the" and "one." Basic stuff that all kids should know by the third month of elementary school. And he was in fifth grade and they were going to move him up to sixth! When I contacted his teacher at school she said his grades were just fine (which they were) and that he did all his work. I would later find out that they had categorized him as needing extra assistance. So the standards were set so low for him that he passed everything he needed to, but he still couldn't read. It was outrageous. When I questioned his regular and special reading teacher on this, the response was, "He passed the state minimums (again these were the ones that were lowered tremendously to the point where he couldn't fail) and as long as he passes the school gets to keep all its funding." This type of response and attitude was not only shocking, but pathetic. And while this is just one example, it is one of many different instances that occurred during my time there. Ohio has open enrollment. Which basically means you can send your kid to any school you want, so long as there is room there. I would urge parents of Clermont Northeastern Elementary to take their kids out of there, and find someplace else if possible. Mahalo, and avoid.

The superintendent would not talk to the mother in person and I was with her as the grandmother!…read more We went to his office. He called her the next day and I listen to the conversation as they talked; he was very rude and short in conversation... " You get letters from Dr. For ever single day he was absent and we will talk about passing him!" "WE DON'T GET FUNDING FROM STATE IF HE'S NOT HERE" This is sad...they failed him and are making him repeat the 7th grade knowing he knows the work and he is a very smart, good student! We can not get the letter from the Dr. Because she left the practice about 6 months ago...the new Dr. At the same office she use to practice in says its a preexisting condition and he can not write the letters and he can't tell us where she went to practice. So they can't get the money for him and he will suffer and have to repeat the same grade! I can promise you he will not go to that BELOW GRADE SCHOOL next year! Their funding is more important then his life. I believe if they were a par school they wouldn't need the funding! I also feel if they can't have an open door policy, they have something to hide!! What goes around comes around and from what I've been told they are close to being shut down! Karma gets you every time!

This school is managed poorly. Most teachers don't grade…read morethings on time, and administrators are really passive aggressive.

This school is very unorganized. the teachers are not told information on time. administrators are…read morerarely friendly. attendance desk lady is the only nice administrator. my son came home one day and said the bald basketball coach got an attitude after he simple asked to got to the cafeteria because he was hungry the day before the teacher sent a email out and said to go to A lunch bell. my son went to drop off his bag in the community room because the email said the class was in the community room that day and the bald basketball coach told don't walk out this room or your going to get detention. because the administration told his teacher that because of retesting was on 3rd floor to tell the students to go to lunch A. My point is my son was hungry all of his friends listened to the email and went to the Lunch bell my son had to sit there with non of his friends and wait 30 mins because of there was some Type of miscommunication between the teachers and administration that they told the to go to the wrong lunch bell. also most teachers almost never grade assignments for months.
