I understand issues in current day either vaping but my student comes home after she’s not able to go to the bathroom all day. The entire student body has to be punished for from what I’ve heard the same groups of people aping in the bathroom. My daughter has told me that girls with vapes in there hand will be approached and told to just go back to class. I do not feel safe sending my teenager to school here half the time due to issues like this that never get solved and ignored. The faculty here is a joke, the male teachers have made several weird comments towards these young women’s outfits, I understand some outfits are not appropriate but male teachers comment on how short my daughters “Mom jeans” style holidter shorts. A few weeks ago a few girls pulled the fire alarm while a performance to 6th graders was going on. Was lied to and told it was a false alarm and was a drill. I feel unsafe sending my child here most days and the disciplinary measures taken towards students is nowhere near where it should be. My daughter constantly tells me students in her class disrespect class and teacher by disrupting and no discipline has been taken agenst these boys. The Guidence office and every faculty in there couod not give a hoot about your student my daughter has tried to meet with guidence councilor a few times most of the time she gets a meeting 2 or 3 weeks after of ignored in general, the principals put in no effort to maintain order. And Lastly, with the discipline, my daughter has been told so many times over her years driving that students who don’t park in parking spaces will be towed/removed. This is a huge issue here as lazy student drivers will park not in parking spaces practically creating there own, before she had her car I had to pick her up for an appointment and was unable to drive through the student parking lot as the lane to drive through had been blocked by a multitude of cars. This school does not care and never will do not send your student here.

Do not move your Honors/achieving child into Hilliard schools. It doesn’t matter what their transcripts or experience is, if they didn’t enter Hilliard’s “honor” system from kindergarten you’re never getting your kid in it. They completely blow you off and just put you off repeatedly. Hoping you’ll go away. Guidance will tell you they can’t help but then do nothing to get help. Or promise they will, but then for a year will never get back to you. You will call every month or two asking for an update and get treated like a pain. Just move to Upper Arlington and save your kids’ future. Hilliard is stuck in 1985.Sad, because the teachers have been great. Coaches, too.

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.....
