Mr McNichols the principal is really dedicated, effective and responsive. The IB program is allowing the students to all work at their highest potential. Our high achieving daughter is doing very well, (23 out of 25 ACT in 8th grade), orchestra/band instruction & performance is outstanding. Lots of extras like honors classes, Chinese, sports, clubs and so on. This is in no way an inner city school. The demographics are imbalanced bc of all the parents who put their kids in private school when there are "too many black kids". Don't let those test scores be the only criteria!
One really wonders if there is any learning going on here at all. The kids were given Ipads and play games all day long instead of learning.
A total waste of time and as we found out the system ranked in the bottom 10 in standardized state achievement tests. Needless to say our kids will be in privarte schools next year.
My 8th grade student at Roxboro has phenomenal teachers this year. Both English and Geometry classes meet for a double period allowing teachers to spend time with kids individually in addition to the traditional lecture. The English reading list includes classics written by Steinbeck and Shakespeare as well as current books such as Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. The academic standards are very high this year. Most teachers are available before and after school for kids who need special help. The grade books are online, so parents can keep up with current grades at all times. In addition to rigorous academics, Roxboro promotes qualities of independence and competitiveness. An economically diverse environment teaches kids that not everyone starts at the same place in life. My daughter appreciates what our family provides and knows she needs to work hard to get to the next level. I'm proud of Roxboro!
Severe Disciplinary problems ana classroom chaos with little real learning going on anymore. Just crowd control. Has really gone down hill in last few years. If you have a high achieving student, do not even consider.
The problem isn't the teachers, its the students. Cleveland Heights Public schools are much like inner city school now.I would not send my kids there.
My daughter received a great deal of personal attention from the staff and had a wonderful experience attending this school. The staff works in teams with three academic levels. Students can easily move up, or down, a level at any time, as needed. There is a foreign language program beginning in 6th grade. The insturmental music program is outstanding. The orchestra sounds better than most HS orchestras. The Roxboro Enrichment Arts Program, sponsored by parents, provides funds for an annual Jazz Week, school musical and artist residencies for each grade level. The Rocket Zone in the library has state of the art technology. There is a full athletic program beginning in seventh grade. Do not be fooled by seemingly low test scores. This school serves a diverse population and all students stand to gain much by attending Roxboro.
