We have only been here a few years and we are leaving. Finneytown seemed perfect for our family. Suburban school with diversity. What it lacks is having a handle on its students and there isn’t any true discipline. My child was assaulted 4 times in one month, did everything he was supposed to do in reporting and they couldn’t keep him safe. We went as high up as the Superintendent Mrs. Banks, and after assurances, nothing was done. Promise after promise of aid from multiple teachers, counselors, staff members and then the highest in the school and he still gets threats. My sons whole personality has changed. He fears going to school. He has broke down. He gave up basketball. His grades are slipping from a near 4.0 to a 3.0. We aren’t keeping him here another year. We’re done. My advice is to really look at your school leadership. Huge problems there. My kidsdeserve better than false promises, black eyes, bruised backs, threats of harm and teachers and staff who shrug, passing it off to the next people who never help either.

Our child started kindergarten this year and has had a great experience. He moved from a private preschool to a public school so we were nervous. Its been wonderful and he’s excited to go to school every day. His teacher is amazing and communicates weekly activities and upcoming events/needs. It is a small but strong community. Our child is involved in several things through school and there are often whole school events. (We’re excited for Spring Carnival!) I know things change each year with new teachers and environments, but this first year has been great!
