I didn't like school as a kid. I never had a special teacher. Schooling - at least as presented…read moreto me - wasn't my cup of tea. But I think that might have been different if I'd gone to Grandview Elementary. It's a small urban school. It sits on a bluff in Bellevue overlooking the city and the Cincinnati skyline. Wonderful. But even with the blinds drawn and the view obscured, it'd be a great school. The teachers seem to care. No one gives me the impression of clocking time; of winding down until summer vacation hits or a juicy public employees pension can be tapped. Here's what sold me on the school: My oldest went to kindergarten there. We were unhappy with it. From first grade through fourth, my daughter went to Catholic schools. Because of several problems there, we decided it was time to move on. I called several schools and on a lark called Grandview. The principal that was just starting her first year when my daughter was in kindergarten now had several years to reshape the school. What caught my attention though was she still remember my daughter, her interests, and her hobbies...and my too-young-for-school daughter's name. And me and my wife. That's a level of attention paid that we still find permeating the school. This is an urban school with too much poverty and young, broken families, but the school offers those kids and all kids a chance. It's one I wish I had had a chance to go to.

Our son started Kindergarten here this Fall (2017), and we have been nothing but thrilled with the…read moreeducation and opportunities he is receiving in the school, both during the day and in the GEAR after school program. The thing to keep in mind with Grandview is that you aren't just getting a great school--you are getting a great community and a true neighborhood school. We are able to walk to any number of our friends and neighbors homes for gatherings, and it's a regular occurrence for us to be walking down the street and my son to see his classmates (and even teachers and staff). Bellevue's walkability, community garden, community potlucks, and a closeness we had formed with some residents and young families here, are literally the reasons why we were strongly considering moving from Fort Thomas to Bellevue. Then, when we met members of the Board of Education and Robb Smith, the superintendent, we were sold. Grandview's staff has been nothing but supportive of the kids I've seen coming and going, from Daphne (the crossing guard) knowing each kid by name, to Mrs. Young and Mr. Fuller high fiving and greeting each kid coming in with a smile and/or high five. We're glad we made the jump, and look forward to many more years of our family being Tigers. #ChooseBellevue

As a tutor in the afterschool program, I worked with several kids from K-8 grade. Since I was arriving as the students were dismissed from the regular school day, I didn't really get to know many of the teachers. The ones I did meet, however, were dedicated, caring individuals who seemed to have their students best interests at heart. I'm sure the new building will be a welcome place for these students and staff.

Terrible school. The school resource officer has been grooming my granddaughter. She was meeting…read morewith my granddaughter daily & buying her toys. We had already told them we did not have any needs & my granddaughte had plenty of toys & to not send anything home. Finally, we went to the school & told the resource officer directly to leave my granddaughter alone. What they did next was highly unethical, they said they talked to me about my granddaughters absences, which was a lie. I never spoke with them. They told my daughter that my granddaughter was out of parent notes & if she missed anymore, there would be truancy charges. Do you know how hard it is to watch your granddaughter get physically sick over being stalked by the resource officer? Every chance the resource officer got to be alone with her, she did. After we make a complaint over it, the school filed truancy charges, I call this retaliation. I heard he secretary tell my daughter (IF) she (my granddaughter) missed again, they would report her for truancy. Then they added notes that they couldn't get a hold of us & added pages & pages of notes. I noticed the notes were from when my daughter was a child back in 2009 & they added that as evidence to my granddaughter being truant. Ironically, my daughter was a victim of Yealey & the notes go back to when I had filed a OCR complaint. Did you know that Yealey had employed a counselor who was married to a pedofile who assaumotes kids my daughter's age at that time? Now the school is grooming my granddaughter & lying in school documents in order to look innocent. I am seeking legal advice & I will take legal action. I would love to give full details on this situation to our local news & if anyone else has had a bad experience, please reach out & maybe we can start a class action lawsuit against this unethical & unacceptable retaliation & unjust treatment & behavior.

Heritage Academy in Florence Ky is a Pre K through 12th grade private Christian school. They were rated 16th in all of Ky for private schools in 2015. My Daughter is a freshman there and she absolutely loves it and her teachers! What's more, it's actually affordable compared to the other private schools in the area. And if you have more than 2 kids, it's even better because you only pay tuition for the first 2. The rest are free! They also offer extra curricular activities like sports, art club etc... They offer college prep assistance, ACT,SAT testing and so on. It's a small classroom environment so students get plenty of personal attention by very dedicated teachers. Love this school!!
