Research Hopewell-Loudon Local High School public Schools in Tiffin, Ohio

“Overall this school is pretty much ok. But, the administration has taken some actions that I feel they shouldn't have. For example, allowing High School students to eat lunch before Elementary students is totally wrong. Another thing is wanting to completely exempt 8th grade students from High School Marching Band because 'The high-schoolers will pick on them.' No they do not. Band is one of those things where people actually DO cooperate. We really DO need these 8th graders to be trained up by their Freshman year, and only 12 weeks in their 8th grade year isn't cutting it. Something else that bugs me is if your name isn't a very popular one or if you're in a class such as band or if your not in a sport of any type that parents, staff, and peers look down upon you. That's crap.”

“I am very disappointed in Hopewell-Loudon and it's leadership. Administration does not show any sort of leadership abilities. There is alot of bullying going on in the school with little to no disipline in regards to the bullies. If your last name is not recognized in this school, you are shunned and treated in a completely different manner than kids with last names that are recognized. Even most of the teachers get in on this little game. The school is not kept clean and the environment is not appropriate for young children. Teachers do not keep their kids under control, for the most part, again, unless it is someone with an unrecognized name, then the disipline is above and beyond what is necessary. Not impressed in the least.”

“My children attend this school and for the most part really do like it. Most of the teachers are very helpful and willing to take the extra time needed to help. I to have a problem with the way some students are treated compared to others. I am not fond of the 'card pulling' because I don't think it really helps. I also do not agree in the way the school calculates final grades on the report cards.”

“I am a parent of two kids in hopewell -loudon school. I sent them to this school for a better education and better enviroment. I am currently not impressed with the school and I am thinking about pulling my kids out. Yes there are some wonderful teachers but the majority I am not impressed by. I do not feel there is much disipline at the school either. There is alot of kids being bullied and nothing is done. And if your last name isn't recognized the parents and teachers shun you.(not all but the majority) Overall I am not happy with the school.”

“I go to this school, and this is my opinion on it. There is no disipline, people can really do whatever they want, teachers are too involved with their classes, so not much gets done. It's pretty clean for the most part. But they could do a lot better. Right now, there is chaos about the new ogt tests, and teachers are teaching us stuff that we've already learned in elementary. And some of the teachers do everything their own way....with 3 projects for one student at once...I am one of those students, while othere sutdents in the same class only have to do one. It's very unfair. I hate it. The staff at the school is awful. They are very closed minded about everything, and allow the students to put them down all the time with constant rude comments. But that is mostly the behivor of the same few students.”

“I like the school for the most part. Some of the teaching supplies are very limited. The school is pretty clean. The buses come late usually so you are usually tardy for your first class. Lunches are ok.”

“Hopewell-Loudon is a very poor school in my opinion. I attend this school at the time but I am very disapointed in the school. I do think that with the right administration that this school could be turned around but until then my opinion will not change. The school is dirty, inappropriate, and very disfiting to all. They need to remodle and/or build a new school! Come take a look for yourself!”
