Shaker Heights High School

My child is a current student at Onaway. It has been an outstanding experience. We moved from another school last year and I’ve been blown away by the quality of the teachers. He has continued to improve academically but most of all his social skills and empathy for others has blossomed at Onaway. They have truly created a kind, inclusive community for the kids. It’s a wonderful place.

Ive been going here since pre-k. This school is not that bad, just alot goes on and sometimes it sucks. We need better staff and more professional teachers.

Outstanding academic preparation for both high school and college challenges. Most Ruffing students go on to get advanced degrees beyond college so the love of learning they promote is genuine. I have had children at this school for a long time and feel that any negative reviews here are perhaps reflective of the prior administration. See for yourself.

Our experience at Hathaway Brown fell short of expectations, especially given the high tuition. Most teachers were average, with only one standout educator. In contrast, at a much more affordable private school we previously attended, nearly all teachers were exceptional.I was also surprised by the lack of professionalism in the appearance and demeanor of some staff—something I wouldn’t expect from a school with this reputation and cost.Additionally, aspects of the parent community raised concerns about values and integrity, which impacted our overall impression of the environment.While there are bright spots, we did not feel the experience justified the price.
