Cheviot Elementary School

This school is decent but some of the staff in it is horrible. It was our first year here at cheviot and we thought the assistant principle was the boss. Me and my family actually had 2 go into the principles office just to meet her. When I first saw the school I thought it was a hostile disfunctional enviroment.But the assistant princaple she is the best. She greets you with a smile, she is a polite woman who acctually wants to know how your day has been and what did you learn....The assistant principle, now changed. My middle school teachers are like a second fammily to me. ..We do soooo much fun stuff and the teachers are like one of us students..Plus the lesson plans are both curricular and fun. Well cheviot over all is a great school and they treat me as if im familly!

I'm sorry to say that the last posting is not accurate. First look at the typing and spelling. Second- I did not know that my child would ever be classified as an animal. I voluenteer at the school and I do not see a fist fight everyday. Instead, I see loving, caring teachers who go the extra mile to help all. it is sad to say that the parents are to blame for their child's behavior. Teachers and the school are not the child's guardian. Maybe parents should participate more in the parent sessions being offered at the school or stay in touch with the teacher about their child's behavior.

I am rating this school at a 0 because the kids learn nothen and very far behind compared to other schools.There is always fist fighting going on everyday at this school and the school does nothen at all.In the moring time it looks like the kids are a wild pack of monkeys coming in when you drop your kids off.How sad is that? Its real sad.

Things were just too stressed for my son to go to Cheviot.The teachers were great but the principal Mrs.Bonavita makes the thought of sending my younger child there undesirable!I feel when problems arise it should be handled in a timely matter.Doesn't happen@Cheviot!

My daughter had wonderful teachers at Cheviot which is a neighborhood school and can use all the help they can get!

Cheviot is more than a school, it is a community. It is led by a fearless leader and Mrs. Bonavita. People don't realize all the things that Mrs. Bonavita does behind the scenes. Some of the teachers are not very positive and that ruins the schools atmosphere. The school is not about what the school looks like on the outside, it is whats on the inside of the nice school. The staff makes up a great deal of the school's positive energy. So the next time you rate the school, ask the students in middle school and they will tell you everything about how great this school actually is. The Middle School tries ther very hardest to make a differance in the lives of people younger. Sure, the school isn't perfect, but the Middle School is doing their best to make this school excellent.

I am 36. I went to cheviot, my 17yr old went there and now my 8yr old goes there also. I can't say i have never had 1 single problem with cheviot but i can say that over all things went well. I can tell you with comparing my 2 kids, who are 10 yrs a part in age that attendance and sticking to a set schedule of events is the secret. If your child gets behind whether it is a teacher having a rough personal life that year or your kid getting in a rut of not wanting to attend school ...It can make or break a good school year, a school career! my youngest who has never missed a day of school since kindergarten is now in 2nd grade and has a 3.75! Make them go to school every day no matter what!! don't cop out and blame the school!!

If I could give this school less than a star I would. The standards are beyond poor and just because the building is relatively new doesn't mean it's a quality school. And as a parent I do not feel welcome nor have I been treated with respect nor kindness. Message to Cheviot: next time you want to spend money on 'improving' the school, improve the quality of the education and the environment first.

Cheviot School is off to a great start this year. We have a wonderful staff who has been working hard to make a positive change for the students and community. I personally know that the staff spends a good deal of time and energy to make the school a success. Even though Cheviot did fall a category with the mandates of NCLB, they have made growth with students for the past two years according to the Ohio State Report Card. There are not many schools within Cincinnati Public that have done that. I congratulate the staff and adminstration for contiuing to have one of the best schools in Cincinnati Public. Your job is not easy.

The new school is great as is the music teacher some teachers do try hard and work well with students but some are lost when it comes to teaching , school lacks discipline and standers,Lunch room workers can be rude and school princable seems lost at most times
