Licking Heights Central Intermediate School

I did not like this school for my son. Constant bullying and some teachers were a bit of a miss. My son has always done well in school, but at North he struggled mainly in Math. At his progress meetings his math teacher would say he is capable of more. He was pulling D's in Math and with a threat from me a B in the third 9 weeks. By the end of the year he went into the counselor's office and said that he was considering suicide and knew how he was going to do it. It freaked her out as well as it did me. I was VERY scared for him to go to Central for Middle School for the 17-18 school year, but you know what? He made honor roll the first 9 weeks and has a MUCH more positive attitude and has a 99.8% in Math half way through the second 9 weeks. He really likes his Math teacher at Central, and when I ask him what happened at North he said it was the teacher. Seeing his current grades and participation...I believe him. The assistant principal was OK. One time my son was talking to a fellow classmate and said that the google accounts the school set up had a weak password system. The kid didn't believe him so my son proved it by breaking into the other kids email and showing him. The kid tells on my son and he looses computer privileges for the whole year. LAME! Was my son wrong...sure he was. Was the punishment a bit much...OH YES. My son was only 10 at the time. He meant no malice, he just wanted to show the kid.

This is by far the worst school my son has ever gone to! They totally cut all funding, no band no councilor. The teachers are horrible and dont care about the students. They are quick to blame the kids for things that are out of control. Do yourself a favor and dont send your child here!
