A classmate was telling my little son to kill himself--and suggesting ways to do it! He has even came home with a black eye. This weirdly competitive place doesn't deserve to be trusted with any child's well-being. I believe a high percentage of the parents justify their child's bad behavior b/c of their child's intelligence. It was an unhealthy environment.

Now, I hear the venue was changed and will be broadcasted using students for play by play commentary to sharpen their communication skills. Would it not have been wiser to invite select students to co-host along side Mr. Schnedl to accomplish that goal and still keep the presentation interesting? I'm sure the students would be better served by a mentor with sports knowledge, rather than placing the youth in the pilot seat and telling him/her to solo. I believe I won't be tuning in any longer. It's a shame. Phil Novick

You could say that I have a bias towards the Sycamore Community Schools, but a lot of what the…read moredistrict has achieved over the years academically can back things up. I made my way through the Sycamore district from kindergarten all the way through high school, so I've pretty much seen it all. The district has four K-4 elementary schools (two of which were rebuilt this decade), the E.H. Greene Intermediate School (grades 5 and 6), and the Sycamore Junior High School and Sycamore High School. The Sycamore district is located in Blue Ash, Montgomery, and Symmes Township, one of the best suburban areas in town, and it's a big attraction for many non-Cincinnatians especially who move to the Queen City. I had an internship earlier this summer and was told by two different people with young children that they were highly considering moving to the Sycamore Community Schools area. While all the lower level schools are equally important to the district, you see everything come around at the high school level, where SHS offers seven global languages and 21 different AP courses. Academically, I've always considered Sycamore the best public high school in the state of Ohio, but this past year its 31 National Merit Scholars ranked first overall in the entire state. Sycamore has received "Excellent" ratings every year by the Ohio Department of Education and continues to earn a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Ohio District Report Card. While its 89.6 percent college attendance rate can be topped by a few other schools in town, its 96 percent daily attendance rate is right up there at the top. Sycamore has 468 certified employees including 31 nationally certified teachers, while 72 percent of the district's teachers have more than 10 years of experience and 81.5 percent of the teaching staff has a master's and/or doctorate degree(s). Another great thing about Sycamore is the athletic program. Although athletes are now required to pay a participation fee, the boosters (who have raised nearly $1 million in the last 10 years) managed to save all the teams when the school underwent budget cuts four or five years ago. When I was at Sycamore just a few years ago, the Aviators' athletic department offered (and probably still does) more varsity teams and sports than any other school in the state. Outside of sports, there are a ton of great extracurricular activities including the award-winning drama department, while newspaper and choir classes are offered during the school day and have led to many national awards and college scholarships each year. Bias or not, there's no denying that the Sycamore Community Schools is an "excellent" district. I was a part of it for 13 years and enjoyed so much about it and will always be proud to call myself an Aviator.

This is my alma mater. What to say about my high-school experience at MND? Well, first off, I'll…read moreadmit to being slightly negatively biased against the school because I was forced (thanks, mom and dad!) into attending the private, single-sex Catholic high-school after spending eight lovely years in the Lakota Public School system. There are just a few points I'd like to make about the school, faculty, and my own personal experiences as a "Cougar". First, MND is an all-girls school. For those not in the Cincy mindset, this is not at all rare. In fact, all but a few (two? three?) of the city's Catholic high-schools are single-sex, either male or female entirely. Supposedly many studies have shown that teaching high-school in a single-sex environment eliminates romantic distractions and stresses academic success instead of social success or popularity. I can't speak to the experience of all students, but personally, I found the female dominated environment at Mount Notre Dame to be both catty (what do you expect in a school full of emotionally unbalanced teenage girls?) and not at all conducive to my development as a normal, well-adjusted teenager. Honestly, girls are going to have to socialize with men for the rest of their lives...why not show them how in high-school instead of eliminating the boys entirely? Gender issue aside, the school building is mostly rundown...in a way that the administration would like you to believe is historically accurate and charming. I thought it was decrepit and full of asbestos (and it fact, it was, a major construction project went into place to eliminate the mold during my senior year). The one exception to this is the gymnasium, which was renovated the year before I started at the school. The cafeteria menu, at least as it stood when I graduated in 2005, was in need of a serious over-haul...I brown-bagged everyday for four years, it just looked that unappetizing and overly caloric. I know that cafeteria food doesn't speak volumes about education, but c'mon, look at my other reviews. I'm all about the food, baby. Faculty: basically awful with a (very) few outstanding exceptions. I got a lot of laughs from comparing my high school teacher's curriculums and credits to those of the teachers at the local public school. In my freshmen year "Honors English" class I was instructed to read Out of the Dust, a novel I had read in the fourth grade. I don't want to criticize the whole English department, though, as two of my favorite and most academically decorated high-school instructors (Mr. Tom Geier and Mrs. Julie Haggerty) call this department home. At MND the general rule is that there is one great teacher in each department, so if you send your daughter there, be sure to request them. History: Magnus, Foreign Language: Ortega, Religion: Grote, Science: Peppercorn. MND offers very few AP classes; I had little opportunity to earn college credits. One more note about MND-as with any other Catholic high-school, this place is after your wallet. The tuition is not as high as some comparable schools (UA) but those in charge of soliciting donations from fundraisers and alumni parties get an A + for their ability to guilt. Moral of the story: Save your money, go public. More AP's, better teachers (due to the drastic pay difference), and a better environment for kids to grow socially.

As an alumna of MND, I certainly come with a distinct perspective on the school. Of all the schools…read morein Cincinnati, and certainly of the private, all-girls school, I strongly believe that MND makes its mark as the most welcoming, open-armed school in the city. With diverse academic options, ranging from college prep to AP courses (and some offering college credit - I left MND with six college credits), every girl can personalize an academic career that is challenging and enjoyable. MND also has a great reputation as a sports powerhouse, but it doesn't limit its scope of extra-curriculars to athletics only. There is a very robust theater program, Model UN, academic teams, language clubs, volunteer groups, art classes...the list goes on. I can't speak highly enough of my educators at MND, and I made lifelong friends within the walls of the school. I would gladly recommend this high school to a young woman looking for a personalized education with room to grow and expand her education, interests and friendships.
