What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, February 18, 2012

Roxboro Elementary is rated "Excellent" by the State of Ohio, so I'm not sure why School Digger has such a low rating for it. We sent our kids there and we loved it. Parental involvement is high and the parents raise lots of extra money for the arts for the school. With this money they bring in all types of artists for residencies throughout the year and there is an annual Jazz Week. Students can start taking an instrument in 4th grade in small group classes. There is an orchestra for 5th and 6th graders. The academics are solid with special programs for gifted students. Our daughter had a learning disability and they assessed her and got her in with the learning disabilities teacher for math and reading. In one year she was up to grade level and is now finishing college. Because Cleveland Heights is a diverse community, there are a lot of kids on free & reduced lunch, but that does not affect the overall quality of the school. Those kids are lucky to be there and do well. I can't say enough good things about this school. Don't let School Digger scare you off! Close Quote
