Now, I hear the venue was changed and will be broadcasted using students for play by play commentary to sharpen their communication skills. Would it not have been wiser to invite select students to co-host along side Mr. Schnedl to accomplish that goal and still keep the presentation interesting? I'm sure the students would be better served by a mentor with sports knowledge, rather than placing the youth in the pilot seat and telling him/her to solo. I believe I won't be tuning in any longer. It's a shame. Phil Novick

I went to see the Cincinnati Men's Chorus 2018 holiday show (courtesy of Yelp - thank you!). The space was absolutely fantastic. I love the regal feel of the old theater architecture: it's a hybrid of Neo-Classical meets Art Deco: simply stunning! There are so many cool architectural features including a Greek/Roman nautical theme, and beautiful Rookwood drinking fountains. Who could help being inspired when studying/learning/performing in such a grand space? It's so great to see the obvious pride and alumni involvement that Walnut Hills has reflected in the preservation of their beautiful campus.

Walnut Hills High School is one of the finest high schools in the country and in the city of…read moreCincinnati. It is the #83 high school in the country. My understanding is that it offers more AP classes than any other school in the country. I was in the class of 2004. I had an amazing experience at the "'Nut". I made friends there that I shall keep for years to come. This education changed my life for the better. The teachers are all inspiring and amazing. I spent a lot of my time in the theater and music department with Mr. Peters, Mrs. Peters, and Mr. Ben Basone. These teachers inspired me to devote my life to the arts. I have emerged as a well rounded and driven adult who has become an actor, singer, stage manager, and now an arts marketer devoted to spreading the arts throughout. The school is incredibly diverse and offers a lot of resources for any type of student. I would recommend this school to any parent who wants their kids to get a great education. However, there is a test to gain entry. Now don't freak out... is passable unless you are a complete idiot. One of the questions is, "How many sides does a triangle have."

You could say that I have a bias towards the Sycamore Community Schools, but a lot of what the…read moredistrict has achieved over the years academically can back things up. I made my way through the Sycamore district from kindergarten all the way through high school, so I've pretty much seen it all. The district has four K-4 elementary schools (two of which were rebuilt this decade), the E.H. Greene Intermediate School (grades 5 and 6), and the Sycamore Junior High School and Sycamore High School. The Sycamore district is located in Blue Ash, Montgomery, and Symmes Township, one of the best suburban areas in town, and it's a big attraction for many non-Cincinnatians especially who move to the Queen City. I had an internship earlier this summer and was told by two different people with young children that they were highly considering moving to the Sycamore Community Schools area. While all the lower level schools are equally important to the district, you see everything come around at the high school level, where SHS offers seven global languages and 21 different AP courses. Academically, I've always considered Sycamore the best public high school in the state of Ohio, but this past year its 31 National Merit Scholars ranked first overall in the entire state. Sycamore has received "Excellent" ratings every year by the Ohio Department of Education and continues to earn a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Ohio District Report Card. While its 89.6 percent college attendance rate can be topped by a few other schools in town, its 96 percent daily attendance rate is right up there at the top. Sycamore has 468 certified employees including 31 nationally certified teachers, while 72 percent of the district's teachers have more than 10 years of experience and 81.5 percent of the teaching staff has a master's and/or doctorate degree(s). Another great thing about Sycamore is the athletic program. Although athletes are now required to pay a participation fee, the boosters (who have raised nearly $1 million in the last 10 years) managed to save all the teams when the school underwent budget cuts four or five years ago. When I was at Sycamore just a few years ago, the Aviators' athletic department offered (and probably still does) more varsity teams and sports than any other school in the state. Outside of sports, there are a ton of great extracurricular activities including the award-winning drama department, while newspaper and choir classes are offered during the school day and have led to many national awards and college scholarships each year. Bias or not, there's no denying that the Sycamore Community Schools is an "excellent" district. I was a part of it for 13 years and enjoyed so much about it and will always be proud to call myself an Aviator.

Happy first day of the 2018-2019 school year! We are a transplant family that recently moved from…read moreCincinnati Public Schools to Forest Hills. We purposely moved here for the schools, Turpin and Sherwood. This summer was full of preparation for our current Sophomore son. You start by doing all of the online registration and then drop off all the important paperwork at the district office (see my review for there, too). A few weeks before school started, we were invited in by the counselor to create a class schedule. The counselor was so kind and thorough, helping explain the in's and outs of the school to us. Fast forward to new parent orientation: the staff gave us a very detailed overview of Turpin and everything it has to offer. A few days later, our son went to the new student orientation where he learned how the schedules work, where to go on the first day and how to succeed at this school. We have been SO pleased with the staff from this school. A week before school started, there was an open house type event where you could tour the school from 8a-8p! It was so nice to be able to freely walk through the school and find lockers/classroom! This is a very busy campus! Lots of active students who have Turpin pride! On the first day of school, the teachers and staff were outside cheering for the students. It is so obvious that the staff at Turpin cares about their kids. I am so, so proud to be a Turpin mom and our family loves this school district so far. The principal went out of his way to give us his personal phone number so we could have one more walk through of the school over the weekend if we wanted it. Now that is someone who cares!!!!

Turpin has been amazing and my daughter finally feels like she has found some people like her. Her classes are wonderful and grades have remained good.

The teachers have always been on top of communication in regards to my daughter having ADD and any help she may require for tests and homework. In the three years here we have never had a bad teacher. The principal is amazing along with all the vice principals, they are top of any issues I may have in regards to testing or SAT or ACT questions or any other basic question. We are so happy here and the community is great.

My eldest (now in college) was very well prepared for college there and had numerous opportunities for leadership, which was just what she needed.

The kids are supported at Leaves, and expected to be their nicest, smartest and most interesting selves, and they rise to that expectation!
