  1. #1 Best Private High Schools in Cleveland AreaUniversity SchoolHunting Valley, OH•Private School•PK, K-12•Rating 4.52 out of 5 150 reviewsParent: University School is an amazing academic institution that lives and breathes its mission "each boy is known and loved" every single day. The academics are rigorous but worthwhile for my son's preparation for college. There are so many opportunities for extracurricular activities that are well thought out and supported by the faculty. The athletic opportunities are inclusive and supportive, with high-level coaches, many of them faculty members.

  2. #2 Best Private High Schools in Cleveland AreaHawken SchoolGates Mills, OH•Private School•PK, K-12•Rating 4.17 out of 5 161 reviewsSenior: Hawken School is a collaborative environment that develops children as both students and as people. As a student you are encouraged to try new things and learn on a wide variety of subjects. Hawken breaks the mold of a structured high school, and offers classes on niche topics, like a class that walks you through US history from the lens of baseball. For this reason, the teachers and students are truly interested in the subjects, creating an enriching environment. Additionally, Hawken offers a vibrant social life, containing over 100 different clubs, offering many opportunities to meet new people. My favorite thing about Hawken has to be the student to teacher relationship. It is evident that the faculty care about their students success and education which provides further motivation for students. Additionally, there is a sense of respect towards faculty that I have not seen anywhere else. Students take pride in the classes they take, and on being a member of the Hawken community....

  3. #3 Best Private High Schools in Cleveland AreaWestern Reserve AcademyHudson, OH•Private School•9-12•Rating 4.13 out of 5 252 reviewsSenior: It is a challenge to summarize my Reserve experience into a few sentences. From the earliest days of my freshman year, I have felt connected, comfortable, and the best version of myself as a learner, peer, and activist. I fully believe Reserve provides the support and platforms to its students for academic, athletic, and future excellence. The many aspects of the community - faculty advisors, beautiful campus, rigorous curriculum, and history serve as the main focal points of an institution deeply committed to every student's success. My personal highlights I trace to my time spent in the Cancer Immunology Lab during my sophom*ore, junior, and senior years where I was in the Cancer Immunology Course. The course teaches students numerous lab skills and gives students the opportunity to lead their own cancer research projects surrounding both wet lab and bioinformatic research. I feel this course specifically has prepared me for my future in health sciences....

The school has an amazing community, filled with supportive people and dedicated teachers who truly care about the quality of education we receive. I feel genuinely valued and supported by my teachers, who always ensure that my well-being is a priority. HB is undoubtedly committed to providing the best for its students. However, like any institution, there's always room for improvement. Hathaway Brown offers a range of clubs and activities, providing plenty of opportunities for students to get involved in what they're passionate about. While the clubs are an exciting part of student life, I believe they could benefit from more commitment and funding. This would enable them to expand their activities and make an even greater impact on the school community. Nevertheless, none of these factors have detracted from the outstanding experience I've had at HB so far. I can't wait to make more memories!...

  7. #1 Best Public High Schools in Cleveland AreaSolon High SchoolSolon City School District, OH•9-12•Rating 4.04 out of 5 492 reviewsSophom*ore: Solon High School is regarded as one of the best high schools in Ohio, and I can see why: A great setting with a library, a recreational center, and 3+ playgrounds within walking distance; An immense course variety including unique courses such as cooking, woodworks, robotics, and arts, as well as multiple AP courses; Friendly and very interactive teachers, that make learning for students a breeze as well as fun -- especially applies to AP/harder courses' teachers. However, some drawbacks might bother some -- some hallways and classes are quite congested with some having no windows/sunlight which might cause discomfort for some students; not good tech provided -- cheap Chromebooks that barely run after some months of use and are quite delicate, even though repairing is offered, causes great inconvenience, not to mention the slow wi-fi speeds.

The small size of the school can be challenging socially (particularly in younger years), but the overall quality of the school experience makes it worthwhile. Best English and History teachers anywhere. School of Fine Arts and Center for Scientific Research offer students a chance to pick their adventure. One of the best features of the school is the large physical campus which includes a greenhouse, a small working farm, outdoor classrooms, woods for an annual Ohio historical re-enactment, soccer fields, tennis courts and more. Class trips each year of high school extend learning opportunities off campus. Very much a community school with active involvement of parents.

The only thing I would change about Beachwood would be the students involvement. Our sports games have little to none student attendance and school spirit could definitely use some improvement. This is probably due to the fact that each grade has around 100 students, meaning a little over 400 students in the entire school. Other than our poor school spirit and support for athletics, Beachwood is a very clean, well kept, school. the education is top notch, teachers are very dedicated and interactive. All of my teachers throughout my four years at Beachwood have been very kind and smart people. I have also never had issues with any of my classmates. The principle is also a very understanding, interactive guy with a true passion in education. I don't have any bad experiences to share but I do have good ones.

The classes are many, however there are a few things that restrict you from taking classes. Things like if the previous teacher recommends it or if you have taken honors to take AP. The teachers are mainly very good, though as a trans student its been difficult to be respected but I expect that. A few of my teachers have very frustrating teaching styles but they are very upfront about that. The consolers offer alot of advice and there are mandatory sessions about planning for college. The food is always pizza or another planed option but it's always greasy and sometimes tastes awful. No fights happen and any threats are taken care of.

The familial atmosphere here is palpable, making it a nurturing ground for both academic and personal growth. My journey through its corridors and classrooms has been filled with moments of joy, learning, and the making of lifelong friends.

  27. #9 Best Public High Schools in Cleveland AreaBrecksville-Broadview Heights High SchoolBrecksville-Broadview Heights City School District, OH•9-12•Rating 3.81 out of 5 355 reviewsJunior: I think overall Brecksville is a pretty good school academically speaking. The school offers many courses outside of the core classes that may help benefit us in the future. In my opinion the school atmosphere could be better with inclusivity considering the high amounts of "popular groups/people". I have had a good time and have many friends in the school but I know many who disagree mainly those who came in new not knowing many people or those who have a harder time making friends. I think a main problem with the school is most students here judge others and those that get judged badly are almost out casted. There isnt a wide diversity and most students are upper middle class to wealthy making it harder for those who are lower class to fit in with the rest of the student body. Most kids are basic and if you aren't its harder to make friends because the "popular" students think its weird and they dont want to be friends with people like that....
