John Marshall School of Business and Civic Leadership

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.

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 That was repealed a few years back, We and many of my neighbors havent left.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.

My son has been going here since PreK. Every year he has had bully issues and the school seems to not care until he is fed up with it and finally defends himself or retaliates, resulting in him being suspended and the others having no repercussions of note. The teachers rave about how smart and well behaved he is. The zero bullying policy is an absolute joke. Today, a girl in a higher grade punched him multiple times before school started. He tried getting her attention a few minutes later and now suddenly my son allegedly is punching a girl. My son isn't perfect but he knows I'd put him 6ft under figuratively for laying a finger on a female. He gets suspended so I go up and request to see video of the incident to which I get a huge run around about I have to request it when such and such is in the next day to suddenly I'll have to contact the legal department to request it. Then when the security officer who handles the incident is talking to me, she claims my son never said anything about the girl hitting him and in the same sentence admits to knowing he was hit. At this point, I just want the info to request the video and a withdrawal form that they supposedly didn't have any of until I said he is withdrawing from the district once I can make the appropriate judgement of the incident from video rather than a bunch of hearsay from the other student's friends and supposedly the only parent to witness the incident. Let's not even get started on other issues like no crossing guards at a crosswalk where a kid got hit just a few years ago from a lack of crossing guards or lack of traffic direction at drop off and pick up.

Excellent. The principal and teachers are amazing. My son is exceeding expectations.

I’d give zero stars if I could. Bullying, unsafe and toxic environment. Lots of sweeping violent incidents under the rug and you will hear about them only from your children or other parents. If you ask staff about them they go blank. Staff and teachers look the other way when it comes to bullying. They try to take the easy route on things and are afraid to deal with the violent parents of vile kids because they’re scared of them and try to instead shift blame on the easier going, nicer parents and their children. Toxic with a capital T.
