I moved out to the LH district from Columbus back in my 8th grade year. I can definitely say I was on a much higher and demanding academic structure in Columbus Public Schools (Algebra, Geometry, Spanish, Physical Science). When I moved they wouldn't allow me to take 3 of those classes taking 3 credits from me.
When I started taking classes I felt as if they were working on 6th grade work. Homework used to take me at least an hour to do at night at Columbus. LH, I would have my homework done before I left the class I was in.
I've literally had a teacher break down in front of our class crying telling us how he couldn't teach because he was too overweight to stand up and he only kept the job for the benefits.
Your kids will have quite a troublesome jump going to college unless you have them in all AP classes at Licking Heights. They simply won't be prepared for what's coming. Best bet is to have them go to school til Junior year and then enroll them at OSUN for their secondary schooling.
The race thing somewhat still is a problem out there, has been and always will be. A teacher got fired this year for verbally abusing an African American student (calling him racial slur names)
