Read what parents are saying about Main Elementary SchoolI'm sure this is a great school if you have a neurotypical high scoring child. from my experience as a second generation Beavercreek school system attendee/parent to third generation, i'm incredibly unhappy. we specifically moved back into this school system so our children could go here and have regretted it since. to speak specifically of Main: we had multiple meetings after a new year/different teacher caused our kid to have thoughts of self harm at 8 years old. could not get the school onboard with any sort of testing to diagnose autism/ADHD even with a history of it in the elder siblings. looking back they were trying to force us out of the school so we wouldn't affect their school ratings. a teacher(who is still there) told us point blank that our child was affecting her bonus. (I believe she meant school funding but truly, I don't care what she meant, we should not have had to fight to get our kid out of her class). once they get our kid over into a class with a para and an IEP things were better. I will speak highly of the occupational therapist, and others that Then were assigned to our kid. but honestly, if I were you I wouldn't risk it. the school smelled of mold.
Posted by a parent on 3/31/2024I have one daughter who went to Main and is now a Sophomore at the high school, and currently have a younger daughter who is a second grader at Main. Our experiences with Main have been the best. My older daughter is a Special Needs student on an IEP and I cannot express enough how well the teachers and staff took care of her all her years at Main (from Kindergarten on). They truly cared not just about her education, but her everyday physical and mental well-being. The para-educators (aides) who helped her daily were so caring and nurturing. I couldn't ask for better. The intervention specialists really worked with her to help her achieve her fullest potential, every day, every year. The physical, occupational, and speech therapists were also kind, helpful, and attentive to her needs. I can also speak of my experience of Main with my younger daughter, who has attended Main since Kindergarten and is now in second grade. During this second experience with Main, my opinion has not changed--it's still an excellent school. She has had different teachers than my older daughter, and they have been great as well. She is advanced for her age, so I can attest to a different experience (from my older, special needs daughter)--and it's just as good. My younger daughter's teachers have made sure that her advanced skills have been nurtured and that she is given the tools and individualized attention she needs to keep on nurturing her talents. I am very involved in both my daughters' schooling, going into the classrooms, observing interactions, going on field trips, meetings with teachers, etc. so I have seen and continue to see firsthand how well the Beavercreek City School system has educated and taken care of my girls.
Posted by a parent on 12/2/2018Main is a wonderful school filled with loving teachers. The school has a culture of kindness. I recently went on a field trip with my child’s class. I was so proud that my child went Main and how they conducted themselves as a group. The students were respectful, engaged, and knowledgeable.
Posted by a parent on 11/7/2018Homework load is overwhelming and ineffective. Children on IEPs are left in the dust by their typical peers. They work them through the system, and they come out grossly unchallenged and behind. If you are thinking about buying a house here and have special needs children, you should strongly consider a different district. Otherwise, prepare to be ignored often and have minimal support.
Posted by a parent on 10/14/2017Our children have been at Main for 6 years. The teachers seem to really care about the children and we have always been able to have constant open communication with the staff.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWould I recommend this school, depends on what you are looking for in a school. Academics: The academics are superb. If you are looking for a competitive academic environment with a strong curriculum, St. Luke has that for sure. My child left there with a great work ethic, and a strong foundational in his/her faith, and outstanding study skills. My child was very well prepared for the next private school he/she attended.Leadership: The the principal knows all the students very well, has a big heart and really does care about the well being for all students. She has an open door type policy where she is accessible to anyone who wants or needs to reach her. I can't speak for the staff on that one, but many parents and students liked her accessibility, I know I did the few times I needed to reach out to her. It is very comforting at the time to know you have a principal that really cares. However, leadership has room to improve in the fact that the principal struggles with trying to please everyone and avoid conflict to the point that it could be detrimental to the situation at hand. Sometimes being a strong leader means having to say no to parents, firing ineffective staff, or not hiring staff that may not be the best candidate just because they have a relationship with the school. Classroom: Class size can vary depending on the year anywhere between 15-25 students. I never thought the class sizes were too big that it got in the way of learning. Homework load was at times a little much but that is typical of Catholic school. Two out of three of my child's teachers were some of the best she ever had. The other teacher was the worst she ever had, but that is also typical anywhere else. Every school has their share of good and bad teachers. I was disappointed though that leadership waited it out with the bad teacher since they knew she was retiring instead of stepping into fix the problem.Social Environment: My child made friends quickly with classmates as did I with the parents. St. Luke is located near a military base and they do a great job with accepting transfer students and making sure they feel welcome. Just like any school, especially a private one, there are snobs, but not enough to disrupt the positive social environment, at least that was not our experience.Other Review2y ago - Creative World of Montessori Beavercreek
