We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Although Oberlin High School was in a small college town and didn't have the best facilities, all the staff did everything they could to help every student succeed. In fact, I believe that we all felt loved and cared for at the school because of the ratio of students to staff. There were at most 80 students in my graduating class, and we all shared a connection. Our class reunion will ultimately be an interesting one.

The school is too small to have so many discipline problems with their students. The students do not respect the principle nor most of the staff. There are about 3 very respected teachers that the students aim to please, but that's not enough! Students roam the halls without staff knowing it caring....
