School building kept falling apart. Teachers did not want to teach, let alone actually WORK with students to help them when they had a problem. When you would ask for help, they would ignore you. When your parents went to the school to request help from them, they would blatantly lie to their faces and then continue to ignore you. If you didn't learn as well as the rest of the students in that school, oh well. Too bad for you. It was your problem. There was no help for students who had any learning setbacks at all. Various teachers would also make fun of students for poor grades, even though they would deny them help when they asked for it. Close Quote

This is one of the newest High Schools in the Southwestern City School district. It draws its attendance from a combination of the western side of the city of Grove City and from areas, primarily outside of the I-270 beltway, of west Columbus. While some schools in the school district struggle to meet state proficiency standards, Central Crossing High School and the middle schools that feed into it score pretty well. I don't hesitate to send my son to Central Crossing. I feel he's getting an excellent education for my "considerable" tax dollars. Close Quote
