Garfield Elementary School

This school still have bullying issues I've called the principal never called me back nor did transportation other then that its a good school we'll see what next year have n store.

My children hate this school bullied so much and teachers don't help they don't know what to do. It's sad when u have to take your kids to counseling because the adults aren't helping and they wounder why parents are so feed up. I know for a fact their losing 10 kids next year just because of bullying and the principle doesn't help but certain kids in the situation. The prince last year was great the one their now doesn't care about anyone other than a paycheck and certain diversity because I'm not the only parent who's came in for bullying issues and she has yet to do anything but once it's a specific race, or individual she's all on it. SMH ridiculous

This School has too many problems! Fights breaking out and teachers getting assaulted and only giving a 2 day suspension, kids just seem to roam around the halls and teachers do nothing about it when these kids should be in class! The foul language I hear coming out of some of the students as young as 2nd grade in front of teachers and nothing gets said about it! Always seeing masks thrown all over school property instead of disposing properly! Forcing kids to wear masks that are proven to not work at all which is borderline child abuse and it's making my child develop headaches regularly! Trash overflowing the dumpsters! This is just what I see on a daily basis! There have been a few times my child didn't come to school and purposely didn't call to see if I got a call notifying me of his absence and to no surprise I never received calls to let me know! It's pretty scary to know this because if a child were to get kidnapped the parents wouldn't know until their kid doesn't come home! You are failing our kids and us parents by the way you run the school and do nothing to improve this school! To consider this school a "Great" school is laughable because it's anything but great! In fact it's a disappointment at best!

We have had now three children in this School. Our last is in 6th grade now and doing fine. Back in 2003 I started a job with the City of Cleveland and was required to live inside the City of Cleveland. That was repealed a few years back, We and many of my neighbors havent left. We could but we have seen no reason to. This school is a gem in the rough. Test scores consistently are better than the Parochial schools and the class size in Riverside is 15 students to a teacher whereas if you look at the Parochial school offerings, they are 25-30 students per teacher. This building has Air Conditioning. The other schools dont. Riverside is a brand new building (The old one was fine in my opinion. Our first was in that School for 2 years) The other schools in the area are ancient. Dont fall for the trap of thinking that if you pay a lot of money for something it is better. This school is one of three in the Cleveland School system that consistently shine. Be really careful with really bad reviews of this school. "All the teachers, All the Staff and All the parents are bad" I wrote this review as a counter to that review. I think we found one of the problem kids parents that were removed from this school. Do your research! Dont pay more for something that is inferior. You will have to figure out something better for High School if you live in this neighborhood. John Marshall is a joke even the teachers agree on that. (That School was renovated too but the quality of student there by in large is horrible) So the good time ends at grade 9.
