Research Cleveland Heights High School public Schools in Cleveland, Ohio

“You really get what you put into Heights. If you're average, easily tempted and distracted, it's definitely not the school for you because it's easy to slip through the disruptions. The regular level classes are ok, but can lack rigor and order depending on the teacher. The AP/Pre-AP program is stellar and really prepares the student for college. I really enjoyed attending Heights, because the experience alone is an education. The teachers do an excellent job, despite the changing demographic and declining student focus on education.”

“this is a great school I learned a lot and met lots of nice people.”

“this chool is excellent it just need to stop all the fighting other than that excellent”

“This is a school that totally reflects the saying 'you get out of it what you put into it'. Where there are certainly pockets of students who suffer from lower expectations of themselves, there is also an unparalleled opportunity for motivated, gifted and hard working students to excel! There is an excellent AP program, a substantial Instrumental Music Dept that exceeds practically every other district in the area, and a lot of super, high function kids doing impressive things from A to Z.”

“The administration and staff do a terrific job against terrible odds. It's not the quality of education that is lacking at Heights, it's the quality of students. Racial imbalance, lack of discipline, and lack of student's 'getting it' is what hurts this school. I don't know how the teachers manage to convey anything, given the attitude of majority of students. If your kid can get in AP classes, it's the way to go. Otherwise, they just sink like stones.”

“Just a great place all around. Some discipline problems but the academics cannot be matched.”

“Experienced and devoted teachers who do their best, but would quickly go somewhere else if their retirment was transferable. The common attitude among the students is that of little effort and little respect to others. The district is currently well funded by corperate dollars durring a small school experiment, but who knows what will happen when the money runs out in two years.”

“Heights High can be a difficult school to attend. If your child is in the advanced placement courses, it is a much better school to be in than if he or she isn't. The AP courses are excellent and well-taught. The staff is dedicated and enthusiastic, despite now traditional budget cuts, and most parents are somewhat involved with their kids' education. The experience of attending Heights is an education in itself and, while not always the easist or most pleasant, I would recommend the school based on that alone.”

“The Height's Schools are quite good for all levels of students. The reason many people send their children (often against their wishes) to private high schools can, in many if not most cases, be attributed to one word: Black. Any school with over 10% black enrollment is presumed to be sub-standard. This belief is what keeps most of the University Heights students out of Heights High. My children have often commented that their education was richer for having been in the minority for a change. In 21 combined years in the high school, my children were subjected to zero fights or other dangerous behavior. Assuming some way can be found to fund the schools, I would recommend them to anyone.”

“Heights High is one of the best high schools in the state of Ohio. The district's music program is outstanding and there are over 400 students involved in vocal and instrumental music at the school. All of the core academic courses are offered at four levels to meet the needs of all students. The staff takes a personal interest in each child. Heights serves a diverse student body and both black and white students are achieving at higher levels than in comparable suburbs.”

“If your child's in AP classes, this is a great school. Kids in other classes, however, are subjected to massive behavior/discipline problems and a substandard education. The CH-UH school district is under academic watch by the state of Ohio. This is why many parents send their students to private high schools instead of Heights High.”
