I don’t like weaver. It doesn’t promote any curiosity whatsoever. I like some of my teachers, however, it’s such a traditional way of learning. It’s like you do a worksheet, you’re amazing. Don’t even get me started on bullying. They say “zero tolerance”, but I see kids beat up other kids and people cursing out teachers and not getting in trouble. This school is so 100 years ago and doesn’t give any room for student voice. It’s very dirty and unprofessional, especially in bathrooms. There’s janitors for a reason, they don’t do their job. Teachers don’t care, students don’t care. It’s not great, but if you want to go, go.

This school, along with the entire district, is more concerned about being one of the top schools than it is their students’ wellbeing. Sure, the education and special education programs are alright, but there is a huge bullying problem and all the teachers and admins do is sweep it under the rug to protect the school’s reputation and the popular students and athletes. Some of my peers have also reported discrimination against them by teachers. Don’t go to this school if you are in any way susceptible to bullying, it will take a toll on your mental health.

My daughter went to Ridgewood from 2nd-5th grades. It was a wonderful school with AMAZING teachers, however, the principal Mr. Buchman is the absolute worst. I am not sure how he got a job as a principal, he should not work with children at all. He bullies them. If he is there take your kids anywhere else.....

The teachers here are top notch. The school's format and high expectations of students are helping my daughter prepare for middle school. She is also having a great social experience. The school places only a couple of students from your child's 5th grade classroom in your child's classes. This provides my daughter with a sense of familiarity while meeting a lot of new kids. I have been very pleased with Hilliard schools. I am impressed with Hilliard City Schools from the superintendent, to the building principals, secretaries, school counselors , classroom teachers, the course offerings, instrumental music program, after school opportunities, sense of community and zero tolerance bullying policy. The parents are also VERY involved in the schools. I would recommend this school and the school district as a whole to anyone.
