My kids attend Shady Lane. They have already been in three school districts: Reynoldsburg, Licking Heights, and now Columbus Public. I must admit, we find ourselves no more satisfied or dissatisfied with the level of education here than we did in the higher-performing suburban districts. In fact, I would say I receive more frequent communication from teachers and staff at this school than the previous ones. Better yet, this is the first school my kids have gone to where they haven't complained about getting bullied. Their academic performance through upper grades still remains to be proven, but so far I feel as though they have adequate resources and support to learn.No school can raise your child, they can only teach. As a former educator, I know all too well that just being in a good district will not guarantee you're assigned to a good teacher. Furthermore, not all teachers will get along with all students. We actively chose to switch to Columbus Public Schools so that we would have the flexibility of moving schools if necessary, or finding good tutors, or spending more time helping our kids with homework. The framework for success exists here, and there are far more options than there are in the smaller districts. It's worth seeing for yourself!

Do not send your child to this school, its disgusting. The school has ROACHES. The school also has only ONE teacher that helps and gives the student the attention and help needed.The school has Uniforms.The students are very rude , also the school has many fights, threats,&even worse, Stealing. ..Don't send your child here.

My daughter attended Walnut Ridge High School her freshman and sophomore year. I was very pleased with the teachers and office staff. If you look on the columbus city schools website Walnut Ridge has a video that speaks a great amount of truth.
