Grandview El School

Excellent Elementary School! Mrs. Pora was the best teacher ever!!

My oldest attended 2 years of preschool/pre-k at South Hills and now my youngest is finishing up his second year of preschool. South Hills laid the groundwork for the skills they need to be prepared for kindergarten. Their teachers throughout the 4 years have always been available when we had concerns or questions. The director, Miss Connie, is wonderful with the children, and is involved in music and story time on a daily basis. My children learned sign language, sight words, writing and how to follow the rules of the classroom. I couldn't be happier with South Hills and recommend it to friends with little ones all the time.

There aren't enough words to adequately describe this school. The education is top notch and the overwhelming amount of extra programs is wonderful. Lake Erie Ballet, guitar, piano,voice lessons and band are a few areas that lessons are offered. Swimming lessons and various athletic programs are also a part of the things that makes Villa more than just a school. The teachers care about every child and those children are taught respect and given discipline because they are loved. This school is helping me provide the world with an asset not a handicap. The Villa difference has to be experienced not just read about.

My daughter went to OLCS and we both felt very out of place at this school. Very snobby and moany cliques at this school. We are not a weathy family and most of the other families are very weathly. My daughter never got invited to any outside school event. Parents never said hi to me or even tried to get to know me. We where there 5 years and we finially left. We found another catholic school that was way more welcoming and warm hearted.

Poorly run from the top down. Issues with classroom teacher which was then brought to the principal after several attempts to have the teacher respond and didn’t. Principal made excuses for the teacher being older and not being up with technology. Issues with communication and knowing assignments and then child being placed in the hallway for not finishing work in class. Superintendent was then contacted and did nothing. Removed child from the school and they’re demanding payment even when child is no longer attending. Spent over $100 on classroom supplies and the teacher and school have not returned any of the unused supplies that were asked for. Sad to think that this is how a Catholic school is run. Child was in aftercare also and had safety concerns when child was picked up and no one asked the person for their name or identification to make sure they were cleared to pick the child up.
