i like this school this is my school there is some bad kids but overall, its a great school

I have had three students attend the Sycamore k-12. It offers a vast variety of opportunities for students with varying interests and needs. The support services are outstanding. And yes, they strive to get the best out of your child.

Our daughter attended this school for 3yrs. We pulled her and put her in a Charter school. (One of the best in the country and is quickly climbing the list as the top school in Ohio) but I digress . The school itself isn’t the worse, but the kids are. I’m not sure why this school is so desirable? Once upon a time, I do believe it was one of the best, but in the last five years, I would not recommend the school at all. You’re putting a bunch of kids who sit on TikTok and YouTube all day and putting them in a building together. You get exactly what you think that would create. The school is very impersonal. In three years I believe we met with her teachers once.. The teachers try to be “cool” instead of models for authority and leadership. If you want a student lead school - this is it. If you want a teacher lead school look elsewhere.

Don't be fooled by good overall test scores. Those are just indicative of the many students from rich families. Symmes has a ton of work to do. The teachers are really nice people and are trying hard but administration sets up a bad culture that is highly arrogant. That aggects the teaching. They do not take imput from families and often will not met with them. When they do, families imput and concerns are disregarded. As a parent with a special needs student , Symmes is earning their poor growth and attendance from disabled students. They are not doing well with their accelerated students either. Even if you don't have disabled or accelerated student, why would you want to send your student to a school that can't help struggling or accelerated students? Every student fits those category at some point. If your student struggles, they simply say get a tutor becuase so many families can afford it. If your student is bored they don't care as long as the student's test scores are good. That's not my idea of a great school.
