I've spent a few months here under the Classroom Buddy program. Essentially, you carve some time…read moreout of your day to spend it with a kiddo that needs a little extra educational help or encouragement. You become their "buddy." You're decently vetted before you can step foot into a classroom. There's a short application process and you must be legally background checked (with the fancy blue paper background check, not just an online one). Once approved, you get a 5 year badge and you're able to check in to the school. I'm impressed with the organization of this school. I'm in two separate classrooms and both teachers are great. The kiddos are all respectful and care to be in school. The office staff, cafeteria staff and paraprofessionals are very personable with each kiddo. It's a lovely sight to see! As for the Classroom Buddy program, it's easy to get set up if you email the school for details. Even a small amount of time with a kiddo each week could change their perspective on many things, both short and long term. You can change a child's life. Yes, YOU.

I really enjoyed and looked up to all of my teachers. They were all amazing and wonderful people who taught me a lot. Some of them are still there! They have an accelerated program and a magnet program that brings in students from all over outside the Mt. Washington area. We were taught Latin in preparation for the curriculum at Walnut Hills High School even though not everyone went there. I also learned how to type about 60 words a minute when I was in the 5th grade, which is something most people can't say! This is a great school for your young ones to attend. There is even a huge playground in back for recess!

Middletown Christian School: A Loving, Organized, and Faith-Filled Community…read moreWe attended Middletown Christian School ELC and were extremely pleased with the care our child received. The teachers and staff provide exceptional early education while modeling and teaching Christian principles in everything they do. Each day is filled with kindness, patience, and genuine love. This was our first year at Middletown Christian School, and I can't say enough about the incredible experience we've had from day one. The enrollment process was clear, simple, and supported by approachable, knowledgeable staff who truly want every family to feel confident and welcomed. I often struggle with new or multi-step processes, but this school doesn't let you fail or struggle. From enrollment to the first day, the team is there every step of the way, guiding with patience and care. Another standout part of the experience is the carline process. I was nervous about getting it wrong, but it's so well-organized that even the most anxious parent can relax! The administration, teachers, and staff all participate to ensure safety, order, and encouragement every single day. The Superintendent and Principals are regularly present, visible, and engaged. Their accessibility for discussions, feedback, and even small concerns shows how genuinely invested they are in the students and families. Anytime I've called the office, no matter how small my question, I've been met with kindness and encouragement to reach out anytime. That support has made us feel part of a true community. During the first month of school, the staff worked together seamlessly to make sure no child felt lost, confused, or overwhelmed -- bringing incredible peace of mind to parents. Our teacher is absolutely wonderful. She helps the children learn and grow while keeping parents consistently informed and connected. Her communication gives me complete confidence that my child is cared for, both academically and emotionally. She also models Christian values daily -- teaching with patience, kindness, and grace. She lives her faith in the classroom, providing a Godly example for the children to follow. Safety is another area where MCS excels. In a time when school safety must be intentionally planned and supported, Middletown Christian takes this responsibility to heart. An active-duty police officer is present on campus daily, walking the property, connecting with staff, and providing a visible, reassuring presence. This commitment creates a sense of security and community grounded in care and vigilance. At the heart of MCS is something truly special: a learning experience, curriculum, and culture grounded in God's love and creation. The staff don't just teach Christian principles -- they live them. This Christ-centered environment reflects strong, faith-driven leadership that sets the tone for the entire school. The Superintendent, Principals, and administrative team lead by example, ensuring that every classroom and program reflects compassion, integrity, and faith. Middletown Christian School isn't just a place where children learn -- it's a place where they are loved, guided, and inspired to grow in faith and character. We are beyond grateful to be part of this school family and look forward to many more years here.

MIDDLETOWN CHRISTIAN DAYCARE. Our sons were in the "bunnies" room (age 9 months) for 4 days. They…read moremake you fill out an intense stack of paperwork asking for their exact schedule of naps/feeding because they say they will adhere to your schedule. The reality is, they do whatever they want. My boys some days had 1 nap, some days 2 naps, and never at the same time or on their regular schedule. They have a "parents do not cross" line in the classroom, which is a joke- if my kid is screaming their head off- which they were- and you ignore them, I am going to cross your line and get them. On their final day, I could literally hear my son screaming from out in the parking lot when I came for pick up. When I got in the classroom, Miss Rebecca, told me he "just started crying." This child was bright red and blotchy, runny nose, and gasping for breath from crying so hard. He did NOT just start crying. Miss Rebecca said he (my 9 month old son) REFUSED his 11:00am bottle. It was 4:00pm at pick up. A 9 month old going 5 hours without a bottle is insane. Also, dropped the kids off one morning at 7:00am and there was another kid there strapped into a bouncy seat. Around 9:30am we were sent a picture of our kids playing, and that same kid was in the background still strapped into the same seat hours later. When I told them we were not a good fit for their center, threw all the boys belongings into a trash bag and left it at the front desk for me to pick up. When I asked to speak to the director about my experience, I was told she was not available.

This particular "Schools-Public & Parochial" is actually Batavia Elementary School. I have updated…read morethe name on Yelp, so hopefully the Yelp staff verifies it so this school can get its proper due. My two oldest girls attend...and my wife and I could not be happier. Before my oldest daughter started kindergarten, we were still living within the Cincinnati Public Schools District. Seeing as that school system is beyond helpless and ineffectual, we knew that we needed to get our daughter in one of the outlying school systems bordering the city's limits. Batavia had high marks from the state Department of Education, so this was a huge motivator in our decision to move here. Not one minute have we regretted it. BES has a phenomenal staff. The teachers, lunch workers, administrators, secretarial staff, custodians, and everybody else, are committed to doing the utmost best for the students. There's a genuine care for these kids that you will not find in big city school. They encourage (and expect) the parents to be active participants in their children's education. They are supportive, but not adverse to discipline when needed. I cannot say enough good things about my kids' teachers. Our oldest daughter had issues with her speech that everyone who came into contact with her realized. However, the state of Ohio refused to allow her into speech therapy because these is a policy that students can only get help if their "disability" (in this case my daughter's speech) was having an adverse effect on their development. The problem here was my daughter kept scoring well above average on everything, and so the state said her academic development was progressing just fine, and there was no need for her to participate in speech therapy. This did not satisfy either her teacher or principle. They continuously brought her case before the school board and the state. One day, our daughter got in trouble on the bus. The bus driver informed us that she had heard our daughter use the "N"-word repeatedly on the ride home. My wife and I were shocked. We have never used that word in our household and would never tolerate its use by our children. When we confronted our daughter she was extremely upset. She did not understand why the bus driver had yelled at her and gotten her in trouble. When we told her to tell us what word she had used we were shocked to hear her say that despicable word. She kept repeating it over and over, and finally started pointing to her feet as she said it. It was then that we realized she had been saying the word "sneaker." Due to her speech impediment, it sounded exactly like the "N'-word. We informed her teacher of this, who then immediately brought it to the school principle. Her argument was that even though our daughter's speech was not affecting her academic development, it was already beginning to affect her social development. And because of that, it was the state's responsibility to place our daughter in speech therapy. It worked. Two weeks later we were drafting up our daughter's Individual Education Plan. This is just one example of how wonderful BES is. Our kids have gotten the best teachers. Our children are learning so much, and loving every minute of it. I am proud to say I'm a parent of two Bulldogs! Mahalo, and enjoy.
