Top High schools in Cleveland, United States

I love this place great people they were really friendly the only reason I’m giving it a 3 is because they never contacted me about my audition status

i hate this school!! it’s very hot up in here the ac don’t turn on till august and then stops after 2 months. how that work??? i’m boutta pass out and sue them i can’t take this anymore

Sophomore here,
I honestly thought throughout my Freshman year things will be great. I felt welcomed here due to that there kids in the school that are just like me in a way unlike my middle-school.
HOWEVER
The students in this school has complained that the admin hardly even care about their mental health which results in the students not speaking of it-as a sophomore,my mental health is terrible now as the admin like stated and not already said:
-Hardly care for the students and only see the kids as money signs
-Visible favoritism towards students
-Lack of caring for mental health
-Only caring for ONE major-that major being performing arts as they only give funding to that major
-Once your grades drop= Threatens to kick you out
-Only focuses on being the TOP school
-They paint the school as perfect despite the issues that I've said here as there are many more issues that they don't show to anyone (or tell)
-The teaching is terrible as students dont really understand anything that's being taught
-Lack of perfesonalism=admin
-Bullying of students=admin

This school,and it's admin is something,it has potential to be a great place but the more I stay here,the more I learn here,the more I walk here-Is making me want to leave slowly.

Honestly, you'd expect so much from a school that seems to be so open-minded and helpful towards their students, but it's quite the opposite. My brother, a senior, is in his last 3 months of school and is having massive issues THAT NO ONE will listen and help him with. He's constantly talking to the administrators, addressing the fact that other students are harassing him! For reference, my brother has been attending CSA for four years now and has had no previous issues up until recently.

They say they need proof, they say they need more than "he-say, she-say" but when he's coming to you, OVER and OVER during his LAST MONTHS asking for a solution, a work around, anyway he can continue to work and do his stuff in peace, you do NOTHING. He's a SENIOR, he has EVERYTHING to lose! What sense does it make that he would be lying? Let's be reasonable here. And from what I've seen from previous reviews, he isn't the only child dealing with bullying and harassment. Faculty call parents, talk a big game, but when someone shows up it's time to sweat and make things up!

My brother deserves better. These students as a whole deserve better and something NEEDS to be done because the entirety of this is ridiculous. Mr. Smith, specifically needs to lose his job, because he obviously doesn't care about the students. He's there to pick up a paycheck and sit in his office and do nothing. They have cameras for a reason, yet they act like pulling them up to view the authenticity on a student's claims is too much. When will proper action be taken? When will the education of our children mean ANYTHING to these institutions we drive our hard earned money into? CSA is no place for your child. Unless you want them to be ignored and ostracize for voicing their problems unless their a teacher/faculty members favorite.

The board of education needs to investigate this school, run through and fire who needs to be fired! Give us real teachers, counselors, and administrators who care about our students! I wouldn't blame anyone who withdraws their child from here because it's filled with nothing but corrupt and heartless individuals who could couldn't care less if a child dropped dead as long as they get paid.

My Grandson told me that one of the school administrators was bullying him. His Name is Mr. Smith. This is a horrible school and please don't let your kids go here. They really don't care about the kids here. Mr Smith, SHAME ON YOU. SO DISGUSTING!! TRULY DISGUSTING AND NO ONE DOES ANYTHING. BUT THE DEVIL IS A LIAR AND YOU SHALL REAP WHAT YOU SOW. God sees you. Truly Horrible staff and Administration😠😡👿😈 ON a scale from 1 to 10 a Minus 10. As educators of our children they need to DO BETTER!! NO ONE WOULD PUT THEIR CHILDREN IN THE HANDS OF BULLIES!! SO Disappointed and Truly Ashamed of this school. CMSD DO BETTER. OUR CHILDREN DEPEND ON ADULTS TO KNOW BETTER! And have their Best Interests at heart. Really...And as for B. Smith YOU ARE A COWARD AND A MAN CHILD. SMH.👶. And should be FIRED.

My granddaughter goes here. This is her first year. The children's are bullies, Look down on others, Teachers talk about student . Favoritism , no protection, no good teaching methods they kick you out first time grades are low not offering help.

This is my daughter’s freshman year.
I thought this school would be a great opportunity for her visual arts major but it’s nothing like I expected it to be. You can barely reach anyone at the front office.

I was hesitant because this is her first year going to a Cleveland public school, so I assumed it would be different since it’s a
art school but I was wrong. She will not be returning next year.

This review is a school year old, but serves its relevance, and Im willing to update how the school is doing by edits.
Sophomore here. I have been in CSA since freshmen and to that I say, this school gotten worse in a span of a school year. Freshmen year was great in comparison to this year. The new administration changed everything that made CSA a unique school (The only thing that is unique are the students and the great diversity) and speaking of, thats where most of the problems lie. There have been reports of unfairness and lack of communication as well (usually say events last minute or none at all etc). I hope CSA steps up next year, it hurts to have a ill thoughts about a school I was happy to go to everyday.

There are many of us who think the same. If you happen to find this review, I encourage you to speak up about your ill feelings too. Many of our feelings toward the school feel dismissed (Ex: mental health not being a concern and taken seriously is something I hear mutiple times) and rather not share them at times because the staff makes us uncomfortable (more so the admins), but this is one step further to possible improvement. If nothing happens, theres atleast awareness.

Edit 01/30/24: Hey people! Now a junior in the school, and Im satisfied that there are parents AND students speaking up about these issues more than I expect because the review page werent getting touched, and that concerned me. I read all of them, and I couldnt agree more. I just wanted to update and say that NEAR nothing improved and its unfortunate. These issues more so arrive because of the careless admin and me and other students, parents, alumni, and other people I wont just put under the bus, feel like they are using us for money and their only focus is to be the top school, praise performing arts and leave the other majors out, and nothing else. If not this, they are not satisfied on what CSA has became. Most of the admin truly do not show care for the students and benefit of the doubt, if they did, the favoritism and mistreatment of students is OFF the charts. Really just a lack of professionalism here.

Good School, Good Education! Awesome teachers! You will see how they are different when you enroll your kids here. 100% recommend you!

Great leadership at school and they care about students and families.

This is probably the worst school on Earth. Us it possible to give a school negative stars?

Lots of fights here

One of the best schools out there. If you want a dedicated staff, life lessons, and the best collage preparation this is the school for you. Shadow at as many schools as you’d like but this school will stand out with its unique atmosphere and staff that want to see you grow as Men of Benedictine!

I love this school would
Recommend to any one

Collinwood high school is awesome experience

Like the school. Teachers are nice, food is good, and students are
well-behaved, most of the time...

3 of my kids go here and it's a terible school! I'm sick and tired of it this year! Teacher's,principal,security guards everyone in the building can't seam to control their student's! It's a shame they let them do what ever and someone needs to get down there and take control....

Never again will I waste my time to call the school about my transcripts I was told they were sent and when I talked to my new school the transcripts were not sealed correctly in order for them to accept them as official transcript so now I have to wait god knows how long . & to top it all off I called 7 times they answered one time told me to wait on hold so they could find who was “in charge” and the phone hangs up I call back and my calls are ignored so unprofessional all I want to do is get back into school and get my diploma. You guys don’t care at all about the people who have previously gone here and want to go back to school to FINISH. Sad never will I recommend anyone to go here.

Students were mannerable
and not roudy when they were dismissed from shool.

Great spot lots of room easy pickup due to streets being located on both sides has huge parking lot great school with eager teachers who seem to love what they do nice restrooms large cafeteria great library no overly crowed classrooms

Was a good school when my kids went there. 2008-2012.

I graduated from this school back in 2013. They are not there for just a pay check... they are there to really help. I love my school and my teachers.

I stayed next door and the mice from over there where coming in my home. Also the band practised outside at all different types of hours.

Don't know any current students in the district but I regularly attend student sponsored plays/ performances and they are very entertaining.

Very nice school, and staff. They are nice and inviting and if you need to finish up some stuff I really recommend here !

Neighborhood Cleveland municipal school district.

I was treated like a piece of trash here and when I decided not to send my son I couldn't even get a refund

I highly recommend this school!

What makes Invictus such a great option is their flexibility. The entire staff work with each student to provide the best possible path to graduation based on where they are academically as well as personally. They also work with students and families to try and remove any barriers outside of school that might be preventing them from succeeding. In addition, Invictus has a variety of programs to assist students beyond their high school diploma.

Invictus High School is such a perfect fit for all students. It is amazing what this high school offers its students.

A great program with staff that cares about the progress of each student.

A different experience for students in need of flexibility in their education! Keep up the good work!

Unclean, bad teachers ,horrible curriculum, awful neighborhood
