Great school,great teachers!we are having a great experience with my son.the school is very inclusive and open to diversity.The principal and assistant principal are doing a great job.

We have had to fight for clear and consistent communication for our child who has an IEP. The way school work is given is confusing and disorganized. The IS often doesn’t reply at all to timely issues when I email her or only replies if I cc other staff. She has no problem emailing/calling after the fact to complain if child doesn’t finish assignments, after I asked her to communicate with me in advance if child is struggling with work. The IS Heironumus is not fit for children with accommodations and has no understanding of how to work with neurodivergent children. They also use a school wide negative reinforcement plan. They remove credits if children don’t get homework done, and it’s often children with special education needs who end up punished/detention. The kids have to sit out or get removed from quarterly incentive awards, if they lose ‘eagle credits’ for whatever the teacher deems to be an offense. It varies greatly by teacher. It’s made our child go from loving elementary to shutting down in middle school and refusing to do work. If your child learns differently or doesn’t motivate through negative reinforcement they will struggle. It has been detrimental to our child’s mental health. They also have issues with bullying on the bus. It took calls and emails from multiple parents to address it.

If your child needs an IEP avoid Olentangy district. They do not offer enough options or support. The administrative staff does not care they view this process as a burden and your child is just a number. Every IEP meeting is with new people you don’t know and they outnumber you with what they can’t do. I regret moving to this district and will be moving out. Teens bully other teens and they don’t care they put the burden to change classes on the student being bullied instead of the bullies. It has been the worst experience of my life.
