Donovan Elementary School

I counted on this site to help me when we moved to Ohio to find a school district that was highly ranked as well as highly reviewed. I took a leap of faith in looking at the greatschool rating over the personal opinions because they didn't make alot of sense. I'm glad I did. My daughter has thrived here. She did encounter a bully which was dealt with in a compassionate and professional manner - they take that seriously and do something about it. The staff has been great and welcoming.

My daughter currently attends donovan elementary school. I personally went to lebanon schools growing up and wanted my daughter to have all the advantages i got from such a good school system. However, that is not the case anymore. This schools teachers are not helpful or accomodating to parents. It takes an act of god to get a meeting and resolution never occurs here. Communication severly lacks between staff/ administrators and parents. My daughters self-esteem has crumbled in this school from 'comments' made by school personnel. We have had such a miserable experience that we are contemplating private school for the next school year. I would not recommend this school to anyone!

Lebanon has nice cirriculum but with most small town schools in the area, there is a bullying problem.

It has been several yrs. since having a student in this shool but I have nieces and nephews that attend. I have only heard good things. The students are proud of the newer school along with the teachers. I know several of the teachers and the ones that I know seem very dedicated to their students and their jobs.
