My son was enrolled when he just passed 3. Every single day he was so excited and happy about hundreds of learning games that he can do. he even asked to go to school on Saturdays. Ms. Case even prepared lots of materials for my son when we need to made a one-week-trip out of country. Down side: now my son is in california (grade 1) in a very good school district, but he complains everyday that it's too borning and easy at school! We moved out of Ohio in late 2011. By contract I'm responsible for a large amount of tuition for the rest of the year. But their admission office (Ms. Michelle) encouraged me to appy for an alternative solution to the board. We reached an agreement that both parties were happy about. So I'm a little surprised to see the comment here about his experience..... After moving to silicon valley, I visited so many "Montessori" schools here----can hardly find one that's not commercialized. Maybe it's just my bad luck. But the whole south bay area only has two non-profit Montessoris, and one of them is having a board-director fight which affected all head teachers......

I attended this school from 1999 through 2007 when I was forced to drop out. While I acknowledge…read morethat many teachers and administrators have changed, I can only speak to my own personal experiences, I would be remiss if I did not share my story. Years K-6th were broadly excellent. A warm, caring environment with excellent educators. Mrs. Blatnik, White, Chin, and Mr. Goober were extremely positive influences in those formative years, and I have nothing but gratitude for them. All issues arose during grade 7 during my brief tenure in the (then very young) middle school program during its second year in operation. I spent my entire childhood with undiagnosed autism; I don't blame the school for this, detection and treatment was far less robust then than it was now. I do blame to school for the resultant bullying that I endured that year, and what I perceived as the cause. The middle school, especially in its pilot years, was intent on making a big show of its success placements. There was a lot of parading around the kids who were being accepted into 'elite' high schools like Western Reserve Academy, Walsh Jesuit, or a handful of others. They were clearly trying to position the middle school as a funnel of sorts to these programs. Of course, with these elite programs came elite tuition costs, and I'll just say that my family was not prepared to shell out for one of these programs. Moreover, I had no personal interest in boarding schools, religious schools, or really any of these programs. I distinctly remember Ms. Ludick's reaction at the parent teacher night when this info was brought to light. She was aghast and, dare I say, offended at the idea. Almost overnight, the atmosphere shifted. My grades took a sharp hit almost immediately. I became the target for relentless bullying from students who were already on the so called 'elite' track. It was daily, it was constant, and I was chastised when I withdrew like a turtle into its shell. And while I admit my autistic tendencies made me internalize a lot more than I should have, the rampant bullying was apparent to all, that year, including the staff. There were other students who noticed. Nothing was done. Suffice to say, there was an incident that spring where I was pushed to breaking point, and I was removed for my own safety. It is also worth noting that once I was gone, one of my good friends became the new target, for largely similar reasons. The staff knew. The staff even aided and abetted the bullies, many of whom were among the wealthier families in the program that the admins would cozy up to. The message was clear: I was not worth the investment, boasted no ambitions for them to advertise in the future, and as such was cut loose. "Open Season." I have had many years of growth and therapy to digest what happened then. I wouldn't be writing this at all if I hadn't seen some social media videos featuring alumni testimonies, and see several of the bullies being plastered up as Star Student advertisements. With the small number of reviews here, I don't expect this to gain much traction. And, as I said, many years have passed since 2007, and I cannot speak to how things have changed. All I can do is share what happened to me, and if it happens to help even one person down the road, that's enough for me.

My nephews bedroom was completely destroyed and a lot of people from the community and beyond have been extremely generous and helpful. However, the High school is a disappointment! My family isn't asking for money or handouts but , considering my nephew is currently a student there, felt that the school (at the least) could have offered my sister & the kids a $25.00 gift card for food or did a fundraiser for the students to donate used clothing or had a car-wash...something. But the High school has done absolutely nothing! Not only is it important to teach children about fire safety but also the importance of supporting those in need. And about what to do in a crisis and stress the significance of coming together as a team and doing whats right. But they have done none of these things! It is not any more of a challenge to organize a fundraiser than it is to create a pointless pep rally or awards ceremony. I think the entire staff of Streetsboro High School should be ashamed of themselves!!!! Yet, this disgust does not extend towards the middle school nor elementary school- they provided both of my nieces with gift cards for things like gas & food. Some of the parents even bought clothing for the children (thank you to all of those who helped my family!) . So screw you Streetsboro High School!!! We continuously wonder why the younger generation behaves the way that they do ... maybe its because we fail to teach them the important things in life.

I was regularly pushed down stairs, shoved into lockers, punched, strangled, spat on, and kicked under the desks. My classmates would pull my hair, throw garbage in my face, steal my food and publicly humiliate me on a daily basis. Teachers watched it happen and did nothing. Some teachers even encouraged this behavior. My parents informed the higher ups about what was happening and I was punished for "provoking" the bullies. I watched this abuse happen to other students as well, most of them were targeted because they were on the autism spectrum or physically disabled/disfigured. I am writing this as a warning to parents. For the love of God don't send your kids here.
