Our family has been a part of the Greensview community for the last 10 years as each of our three children have gone to school there. Our youngest is currently in 4th grade and we are already starting to mourn the idea that we will soon say goodbye to Greensview and the absolutely amazing teachers and staff that have made it our school home. Over the years we have come to love many things about Greensview. The principal, Mr. Wulf, consistently puts students at the center of every decision he makes even when it means going against parents or even teachers - a task that is a lot harder than it sounds in a community where parents are very concerned and involved. The teachers at Greensview consistently go above and beyond to meet each child exactly where they are academically, socially and emotionally. We have seen teachers make house calls, attend student extracurricular events, write personalized notes, act silly, shed tears, advise clubs, form lunch groups and even serenade their students in an effort to connect and make kids feel special. Teachers live by the school PRIDE characteristics: Positive Attitude, Respect, Integrity, Duty & Empathy which is emulated in the way students interact with their teachers and one another. Our youngest child has developmental and cognitive disabilities, so it is always of great importance to us to know how he is being treated by others. I can tell you with absolute certainty that the children at Greensview have embraced him with fierce protection and love. They are genuinely elated to see him each day and he feels the same about them. Greensview is an extremely special place. We will be forever grateful for our experience there.

student repeatedly threatened people’s lives and didn’t get punished despite multiple witnesses who confirmed what happened. A kid kept slapping my friend’s butt and didn’t get in trouble even though she told the counselor what happened and there were security cameras in the hallway to prove it. I asked to get transferred to a different study hall because I was being bullied and they didn’t let me move even though there was plenty of space in other enrichments. I, someone with very sensitive hearing because of my autism, requested not to be in any sort of music class since it would be overwhelming, yet I got put in music class. Half of the downstairs bathroom locks don’t work and despite MANY people asking them to be replaced they never were. Multiple times people got into fist fights but didn’t get in trouble. One teacher refused to let a kid with an abdominal disorder go to the nurse for medicine. Overall, the school does nothing about bullying, even with evidence. Many teachers refuse to refer to trans kids correctly. There’s often gum and blood in the restrooms that’s not cleaned up. In total, the school completely disregards student safety and happiness.

The UAHS is a lovely school with lots of electives and leadership opportunities. Students have plenty of choices when it comes to what to learn and the athletics program is amazing too. Despite the majority of the UA poulation being white, everyone here is respectful and inclusive. UA is also a very LGBTQIA+ supportive community. Overall, the Upper Arlington High School is an amazing choice for anyone in the UA community.
