When you come upon Withrow University High School, located at 2488 Madison Road, you will immediately see why the facility has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983. Opening in 1919, the school’s design was created by noted Cincinnati architect Frederick W. Garber. Among the amenities are the 114-foot clock tower, the arching entry bridge, and the landscaping around the 27-acre campus. Don’t let the traditional look fool you, as the school is always making improvements – including the up-to-date sports complex on site. Withrow University High School brings an international perspective to the learning environment. The school features three programs and services, focused on meeting student challenges in today’s diverse society. The school’s curriculum involves rigorous academic preparation to lead students to achievement in college. The robust Dual Enrollment partnership with Cincinnati State Technical and Community College provides the opportunity to earn college credits while still in high school. The International Language Program offers four years of world language study and globally oriented courses. The high school has regained its place as offering several premier athletics programs, and other activities such as the Dynasty Dance Team and the Girls to Women Leadership Collaborative. Girls to Women aims for young girls to become strong, respected, and compassionate leaders. The collaborative encourages girls to become agents of change, focusing on developing solutions for issues facing today’s women.

I have been at Withrow since I was in the 9th grade. It is an outstanding school academically and sports-wise, but the only bad part about Withrow is that there is an outrageous amount of drama and fights.

My first year at Winthrop was fun, Once I got to know people and actually engaged with clubs and my peers I enjoyed my first year. Although I will say financial wise I've had trouble being financial enough to stay at Winthrop. The clubs at Winthrop are amazing. always engaged and throwing events.
