4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageElementary, Middle and High schools in Van Wert, Ohio are good schools but only if your child is normal and has a average learning ability. If your child has a learning disability such as autism they just don't know how to handle them. The schools don't understand that autistic children sometimes have tantrums and similar episodes. They don't have a effective approach to these kind of problems. So their answer to these situations is to send the child home rather than finding a way to deal with the problem. It's like they don't want kids with mental disabilities in their schools so they just send them away! If you are moving to Van Wert, Ohio or already living here and your child has autism. I strongly recommend that you look into home schooling for your child.Parent Review4y ago - Van Wert Early Childhood Center
