Springboro High School

We have had such a positive experience at Clearcreek - caring staff and principal - excellent learning environment!!!

This school is a 10! As a former elementary teacher I have high expectations. This school meets everyone of them. After having horrible experiences with my struggling learner at another area Montessori this school has been an answer to prayer. My child has gone from angry, sad and making slow progress to happy, confident, and excited to go to school everyday. It shows in the explosion of learning that has taken place academically and a happy demeanor. I have my sweet kid back. I wish this school went beyond age six. Teresa Bellman and her staff are amazing.

We chose this school for our child because they work at the academic level the student is at, instead of by grade as traditional schools do. So, if you don't have any kind of other issues, you will probably be fine sending your child there. However, the high school is still a fairly new school. Make sure you vet it properly. These are just a few issues we dealt with. I have receipts for everything. We had the teacher that told us to lie about our child's age to join a club with age requirements. The teacher that embarrassed our child in front of everyone on a school trip because she didn't have a shirt on over her bathing suit when no one told her that she needed a shirt on over her bathing suit. The guidance counselor that was well aware of my child's career path and choices but still told her to take certain classes only to now find out they were a waste of time and money. My child worked extremely hard in school. She graduated a year early and with an associate's degree because of HER dedication and hard work. Cin-Day tried to take credit for that instead of giving her the recognition she deserved. Credit they do not deserve especially as we are now finding out she was "guided" in the wrong direction multiple times. She should have been class valedictorian, but was told they didn't do that, without her even asking about it. The school then had 2 other students speak at graduation, but not my child. When I found out and questioned it, I was told by the principal that there was an announcement asking for volunteers to speak made in a class (that my daughter wasn't in) and my daughter wasn't there. In a class she wasn't even in? Of course she wasn't there. Both students later said they were asked to speak, they didn't volunteer. They left details out about my child (only my child) in the graduation program then tried to blame her for it. They then offered to reprint it, after graduation was over. Complaining to the school board president won't help you either. When I spoke to her about the incompetence, she told me the program was new and maybe they wouldn't do it anymore since I wasn't happy. Blaming the parent for their fails and for taking the program away seems insane to me. She tried to gaslight me, and when I called her out on it, she said "GOODBYE" and hung up on me.
