The atmosphere is friendly and every girl is welcome. CGS promotes equality for all their students. Many different financial backgrounds and cultures are represented.

I first heard of CSG when I was a kid in Toledo and my school played them. They had a good…read morereputation even then, statewide. Since then I married someone who went there, and learned more about it. Sweetie loved going there, got a great education, and still supports them. I have been to several events there and met many alums: wonderful, smart, strong women. The campus is beautiful, the teachers clearly love their jobs and the girls, and CSG looks to be the best place in central Ohio to get a college-prep education. Baby K might go there. I say might because it is outrageously expensive. So, start saving now. But it is worth it. There are so many opportunities at CSG (and there are scholarships.) The world is your oyster, and the support for students and alumni is impressive.

It has been an exciting, enriching and rewarding experience for all three. Even though we live in a community with a nationally ranked public school system, we chose Wellington because of the small class size and personal attention that a school of Wellington's size can deliver. We have not been disappointed. Our children thrive academically. They also have the opportunity to be in the band, play three different sports (lax, basketball and soccer) throughout the year without worries of being cut from the team (Wellington has a "no cuts" policy) and they can be in theater productions. Wellington encourages diversity in student interests and demonstrates its commitment to diversity in its teachers and in the students it accepts. Wellington parents are friendly, involved and welcome at Wellington. While some schools emphasize "rigor," Wellington seeks "engagement." Wellington students are engaged, active learners who generally are inspired to learn more, do more. It's an amazing place.

I would not recommend. While I was a student there I faced many racialized microagressions and…read moretrauma because I am Black. I was told I was aggressive when I wasn't.

As a recent graduate of this school, the memories are still fresh in my mind. Tree of Life is a…read moreschool unlike any other. While many may have mixed opinions on Christian schools for their belief systems and teachers, I can confidently say that the teachers here are here to guide you and help you in learning, both academically and spiritually. They care and want to show God's love to all who enter. While many schools require little effort in assignments, Tree of Life ensures preparedness for each grade up and beyond high school. It is a hard curriculum, but all teachers are committed to see each and every student succeed. There are tutors and plenty of opportunities for extra credit! Work hard, and you will see great results. Tree consistently scores higher than the national average on AP tests and other examinations. The extracurricular activities are also great, especially the theater department. I have performed in several shows and enjoyed them immensely. All thanks to a great director and good teamwork! The sports are also full of teamwork and some very good games. I have played little, so I can't say much, but Tree does do well overall. I have seen in some reviews that some people believe Tree of Life encourages "hate" and punishes students for different beliefs, asking questions, and is racist?? This is NOT what this school is like. There is no hate here, no racism; only diversity, support, love, and grace. Regardless of the situation, they are always open to talk. There are lots of opportunities to freely ask questions and engage in good, wholesome spiritual debate. What truly makes TOLCS worth five stars isn't their building or their technology, but rather how they allow God to thrive through each and every student. The community they have formed is truly a strong foundation and is supportive and loving, grace-filled. If you are looking to place your child in a private, Christian education, definitely give Tree of Life Christian Schools a try.

This year was my first year at Metro and will also be my last. I will be a sophomore next fall, but…read moremy freshman year here at Metro was like hell. For background, Metro is a STEM school that also pushes a very strict mastery agenda. You need to have a 90+ on all assignments to be considered passed with them. If not, you must remediate asap. My experience, as I said, was hell. One of the things I noticed, is that they do absolutely nothing about bullies and people saying slurs. I had this one kid on my class, constantly saying the n word and the f slur. Nobody did anything, they just scolded him and loved on. The school does nothing but maybe give them a suspension, even if it's a repeated instance. As someone who suffers from anxiety and depression, this is not definitely the school for me, and might not be the school for your child either if they suffer from chronic anxiety/depression aswell. Deadlines are deadlines at Metro, even with my 504, I would only get an extra day to turn assignments in. I understand they can't give me a week, but my teachers wouldn't even care for my 504. I was supposed to get guided notes, only got 1 packet out of the two teachers I was supposed to get them from in my second semester. If you cannot keep up with getting all A's and turning work in on time, I would NOT recommend Metro. I would also say's Metro worsened my anxiety. I had a lot of things going on outside of school aswell, and everything between that and the school got so bad I had to get on antidepressants antidepressant. I had friends who suffered from chronic illnesses, and they would have piles of work to do when they got back. If your child is apart of the LGBTQIA community, they WILL get bullied. I had a trans friend and he would constantly get called by his deadname and the same guys would constantly ignore his pronouns. There is also another trans student and she constantly got made fun of and talked about behind her back. I practically had no free time outside of school, it was all studying and homework. Sometimes on weekends I'd also have homework. Over the summer, before your child joins high school, they have to do a research project. Made absolutely no sense to me. The bathrooms, disgusting. I've heard stories form the boys bathroom, pee all over the walls. The girls bathroom, bloody tampons, pads, shit in the toilets. It may be the #1 STEM school, but that does not mean it is good. Please do further readership and read more reviews. I would only send my child here if I truly knew they could keep up. If I could, I would definitely give it a 0 star rating.

Im adding back to my review with i have not mentioned that the fact this school has severe unfair…read moreproblems as the trouble students get as much love to "Take The Anger Out" While the Regular Students get punished trust me the counselors are good but they dont do much maybe a talk or a phone call home and most of the time it never gets resolved and also the fact that teachers use AI themselves should be already understanding that some of the teachers shouldnt be teaching using AI to make lesson plans and all of that and instead looking for accurate pictures they make them with AI and Tech Team will get on your ass if They suspect anything and its pretty boring to be honest expelled over a fight and ISS or OSS for the smallest things. This schools classes is basically AP And Honor Classes and isnt worth any time with work .24/7 and extra things like needing service hours or roundtables to graduate. Its really not worth it because some people think its extra college credits but it could be done in a regular school by taking AP,Honors or classes above grade level and in Junior Year you should be able to go take colleges classes so really its not worth it

This review is for the playground, not the school…read more We were looking for Krumm Park and GPS took us here. And there was a playground, and sometimes parks are right next to schools, so, hey, maybe this was the right place. It's not- Krumm is just around the corner, beyond the treeline. But the playground here was impressive, and open. Open to the public during non-school hours. There are two distinct areas, for older and younger kids. Slides, hopscotch, climbing areas, etc. Baby K loved it. Dada liked the tables in the shade. The play stuff is out in the sun, so some was very hot on an August day.

There are two playsets, one for smaller kids and one bigger. Plus, other areas: climbing stuff, music, swings, exercise equipment, etc. Loads to do. Only a few benches for tired adults, but that's the norm at schools. Beautifully kept grounds and equipment. Parking is not very close. Baby K loved it and we will be back.

Teacher after teacher told me my son had attention issues and suggested medication. You can imagine the emotional heart ache for both of us. Now, as a 5th grader we have transferred him to St. Joe's and we are sending my younger son (3) and step daughter (7th). I can't say enough about the teachers, the staff and the community of parents. They have welcomed us with open arms and we look forward to many years ahead. In his initial weeks at summer camp my son came home exited to learn for the first time in his life! If you are curious about the Montessori Method, I strongly encourage you to read up and/or come in for a tour.

My children and I moved to Columbus from western Ohio where they attended a really wonderful…read moreMontessori. I, like an idiot, assumed that Columbus being a far larger metro area than where we moved from, would have many Montessori options. Mistake. So, my research begins, and I call St. Joseph Montessori with high hopes. I explain that I have two children I am looking to enroll, one whom is Autistic and a little slow to learn some things but has always been able to keep up. They are happy to meet with us so I schedule a visit. We toured the school, met with some of the teachers, and discussed some of the differences between the Montessori we came from and their program. They even met with the kids one on one and talked about how sweet they both were. Now, let's keep in mind some things - this school is a) a MONTESSORI...founded on principles of Maria Montessori who famously taught those who were cast off by society. Her methods were meant for EVERYONE. And b) this Montessori is affiliated with a CHURCH. "Love thy neighbor...well, not THOSE neighbors..." After I explain to those I had met with that my son is Autistic, the vibe changes. My child, who 5 minutes ago was "so sweet and funny...really creative!" was now getting pity eyes and the stare. Then, the decision... "Well, now that I look at our enrollment, we are already committed to too many kids in your [Autistic] son's grade and sometimes make exceptions but in this case we just wouldn't be able to accommodate him. (Interesting...you had room when I called to set up the appointment...hmm, that's a mystery) But, we would be happy to take your typical son." I think y'all need to read that Bible again. While you're at it, look up Maria Montessori and what she stood for - THE REASON YOU EXIST. I'll say a prayer for you.

Review for playground only!…read more We came here twice looking for the playground. I mean, it's an elementary school, there has to be one, right? Drove around both sides. Finally looked on Google Earth, and the playground is behind the school in the space between buildings. And it's a good one. Three playsets, of various sizes. Loads of slides, climbing things, etc. A swingset. Really great. However, it's all metal, so on a sunny day the slides were scorching and unusable. No shade. On a cloudy or cooler day, they'd be fine. Baby K had a great time.
