Research Ninth District Elementary School public Schools in Cincinnati, Ohio

“I am very pleased with the education my sons are receiving at Ninth District, the teachers and staff are great”

“I really like Ninth District. I wasn't sure about sending my son to a public school but I have been pleased overall. The teachers are very helpful, and usualy we get regular updates on things that are going on at the school and with my son's progress. My only gripe is that there aren't any art or music classes, but I understand that is how it is at most schools now.”

“My son graduated from 9th Dist. and now my grandchildren are going. I have the highest regards for this administration. They love the children and try diligently everyday to teach them respect, dignity, along with learning lifeskills they need in everyday life. The academic excellence is achieved on EVERY level. Mr. Lockerd, Mr. Ross and the teachers EXPECT respect, achievement and are all excited about their jobs. The children feel that excitement and expectations and try their best to achieve what is put before them. Thank you, thank you to this administration for making it exciting and challenging to go to school! Keep up the good work!”

“I am very pleased with this school and the academic progress that my daughter has recieved here. I choose this school for my child to attened because it was very well now for its education level. The teachers are very helpful, when you ask them about your child and how they are doing they tell you and if you want any extra work for them to do or ideas to help them improve they are out to help you in any way.”

“My granddaughter attends this school and I am very pleased with the school as far as handling problems with the children fighting Mr.Ross and Mr.Lockerd were extremly helpfull with the problem when ever I or my daughter call on their assitance they were helpful to us the problem was solved. I see both principles outside in the morning and afternoon interacting with the students, and monitering the buses, now the bus drivers I dont agree with they dont pay attention to the children, fights occur on the bus and they do nothing except watch or do nothing. And as far as activities thay have very few which should be addressed, over all I sincerly like the school.”

“The quality of academic programs is poor. Music is offered to few. Art class-none. Sports-not offered by the school. Extracurricular activities-few. The children play in a parking lot barely supervised. Gym is on average twice a week and can be taken away as punishment. This happens frequently. Physical education is poor at this school. Violence among the students is a problem shoddily dealt with by the Principal and with my experience this year, the teachers as well. When you want answers and results, you get excuses. The only reason I will rate highly for parent involvement is because parents are almost discluded when it comes to their children's progress (or the lack there-of), academically, until report card time. We're forced to drill staff about academic problems. Children's grades rest on the children's/parent's shoulders solely. Homework time is a joke. My child's grades and morale have fallen dramatically at this school.”
