8 *5 5 The Children’s Home provides a specialized program for students with autism.

THE TYPICAL SCHOOL IS SIMPLY NOT EQUIPPED TO SERVE STUdents with special needs. Students often feel out of place, spend their time“just getting through the day”or navigating disciplinary systems,or are left behind altogether. But The Children’s Home offers an alternative with the Heidt Center of Excellence, which opened last November.

“Our school is designed specifically for individuals with autism and related diagnoses, with the goal of creating an environment where a student can thrive, rather than just survive,”explains Autism Services Director Amanda Tipkemper.“When a student with autism attends a public school, they’re automatically a minority, and oftentimes at a disadvantage as a result. At the Heidt Center of Excellence, having autism does not make you different, and everyone ‘gets’ it.”

The school’s staff is specially trained, with student-teacher ratios as low as 1:4, allowing teachers to hone in on individual student needs and provide a more equitable learning experience.“Disability is a natural part of the human experience and in no way diminishes the right of individuals to participate in or contribute to society,”says Tipkemper.

“Improving educational results for children with disabilities is an essential element of our national policy of ensuring equality of opportunity, full participation,independent living,and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with disabilities.”

The Children’s Home’s autism services program has always been more than a high school. Today, it’s a multidimensional program for 13to 21-year-olds that provides career training, experiences, vocational training, and job placement, and connects real students to real opportunities in the region. The academic program is designed to serve student needs, and many complications that autistic students experience in a public school setting are mitigated or outright resolved at Heidt.“A lot of the sensory and social aspects of school that can be overwhelming, as well as balancing the academic demands, are nonissues in our program,” says Tipkemper.

“Disability is a natural part of the human experience and in no way diminishes the right of individuals to participate in or contribute to society.” —Amanda Tipkemper

Our students [are] engaging in activities that will contribute to their feelings of selfworth and empowerment and increase their odds of an independent life.”

'*99* 94,*9-*7 Womankind offers female students at Diamond Oaks a place to shine.

HELPING TEENAGE GIRLS UNDERSTAND THEIR WORLD—AND thrive in it—is a tall order. But that was just one of the myriad goals that English teacher Anne Bangert had when she founded the Womankind club in 2017 at the Diamond Oaks Career Campus, and those goals are still evolving. The club promotes “learning through experience,” she says, exposing students to people, places, and ideas that allow them to engage in higher-order thinking about their own lives. Meanwhile, they’re learning empathy, responsibility, and how to imagine a world after high school.

Bangert,who was later joined by co-adviser and Diamond Oaks math teacher Kim Ward, organized a monthly speaker series with help from an operations grant from the Great Oaks Foundation, covering topics over the years like goal setting, self-care, and self-defense; conflict resolution and anger management (led by a former psychologist from the VA Medical Center); and domestic violence. The students have also heard from pros at Dress for Success, YWCA, and Addiction Services Council, and they even took an on-site“field trip”to the Diamond Oaks Auto Tech lab to learn how to change a tire.

The students had their own goals with Womankind, and they mostly had to do with using the group as a support system. “It brought us together,”says Ally Brueckner, a senior in the nursing career program.

“A lot of people set us up against each other. This club made us more supportive friends.”

Womankind leverages community expertise with feedback and testimony from the students themselves.“I want it to be different from a regularschoolclub,”saysBangert.“We’readdressingtheirreal-lifeissues, onboarding them into their adult lives as women.”Crysteannah Carpenter, also a senior nursing student, has felt that difference.“Womankind helps us to be heard,”she says.“Some of us felt like we didn’t have a voice.

It makes me feel like I’m important.”

( 4<)+:3).3, 8(- 1& 8-.5 New this year is the Womankind Scholarship, a merit-based program (through an essay application) that grants $1,000 for postsecondary educational needs.

“It was the natural next step for us,” Anne Bangert says, “arming students with that extra support in the real world.” True to form, Womankind members sold chocolate bars around Diamond Oaks to raise funds for their own scholarship, knowing that the money would go to one among them.

& - :8* 3. *) An unconventional “house system” remakes the Finneytown Secondary Campus.

BIG PROBLEMS NEED BIG SOLUTIONS, ESPECIALLY IN A SCHOOL setting. That’s why the Finneytown Secondary Campus divided its student body into six “houses,”a move not typically seen outside of private schools.“None of us were very happy with the direction that our school was going for a few years,” says Finneytown teacher Charlie Crawley.

“We were struggling academically, and we were struggling with behavior and relationships. Pride was an issue.”After incremental efforts like hiring consultants drew middling results, the group decided it was time for decisive change.“We were looking for something to shake up the system,” says Crawley.

The house system, created for the 2017–2018 academic year, is now built around seven core values: service, leadership, relationships, pride, spirit,mentoring,and academics.Each house has its own dean—usually a faculty or staff member—who then leads students through programming to support one of those specific principles. The houses are named for notable Finneytown figures.Crawley now serves as House Director to oversee the entire system.

Perhaps dividing a student body to help foster a sense of community seems counterintuitive, but that’s just what this change has done.

The Finneytown Secondary Campus is already an unusual setting in our region, as it serves grades 6–12, a relatively broad age range, in one building. Despite their age differences, students now come together under their respective house identities, automatically creating mentor relationships. Siblings are grandfathered into the same house, building a sense of anticipation and legacy. Houses engage in friendly competition with one another to interact with and share those core values.

11 89* 2 &-*&) Reimagining the high school day with Ignite Institute’s advanced STEAM experiences.

How does a STEAM cohort model work with liberal arts education? With a little creativity and a lot of skill. Like from Joe Dees, an Engineering Academy social studies teacher who runs an extracurricular club to help engineering students study ancient building techniques.

Next year, students plan to design a Chinese junk boat. They often try their hand at construction, too. “It’s fun for everyone,” Dees says, “because these students already know how to build things.”

THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT IGNITE INSTITUTE IS THAT it doesn’t look like a school at all; it looks a bit like a factory.That’s because it’shousedinthe183,000-square-footformerToyotaQuality&Production Engineering Laboratory in Erlanger, which the company gave to the Boone County School District in 2017 to help promote science and math education. Boone County administrators then deployed a $6.8 million Work Ready Skills Initiative grant to retrofit the former manufacturing plant into the Roebling Innovation Center,which houses the high school.

Classes began in the 2019–2020 academic year, serving students who wish to pursue advanced STEAM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics).

Ignite Institute is divided into six academies (Biomedical Sciences, Computer Science, Design, Education, Engineering, and Pre-Nursing) and taught on a cohort model, in which all of students in each academy take their classes together. Students also have the chance to earn college credit via online courses from Thomas More College and Gateway Community and Technical College.

As for the students,they’re pretty exceptional,too.Their cafeteria— even during the lunchtime rush—feels more like a workplace on break than a high school. That’s because this group of students has their collective eye on the prize. They know they are learning specialized skills that will set them up for a job or jump-start a college degree. And they’re surrounded by like-minded students with similar skills and focus.

ost area schools were not prepared for a pandemic and the resulting stayat-home orders, or the need to move learning into their students’ kitchens and living rooms. Making sure kids were still filling their days productively became an important way to ensure they retained a bit of normalcy—and

didn’t fall too far behind academically—while the world dealt with this crisis.

LAKOTA LOCAL SCHOOLS

Prior to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s school closure announcement, Lakota Local Schools (serving West Chester and Liberty townships) had planned a remote learning exercise for March 13. This gave the district an opportunity to gather feedback from teachers, parents, and students over the following Spring Break week, during which Chromebooks were also distributed to students in grades 3–6 who needed them. (Students in grades 7–12 already had laptops, which they could share with younger school-age siblings.) Teachers returned to work March 23, and students returned remotely March 25.

Moving forward, teachers shared lessons and activities for preschool through grade 2 via e-mail. They sent lessons and assignments to students in third grade and up via Canvas, an online learning management system, and kids turned in their work for grading the same way. Teachers held office hours to be available (if virtually) to students and parents, and met separately with students via Zoom. Amy Brunner, a mother of a fifth grader and third grade twins in the district, says the communication was “amazing” and teachers even called to check in on her kids.

There was a rush to ensure families had internet access, either through Spectrum (which offered free WiFi to families during this time) or individual MiFis (mobile hotspots). Breakfast and lunch were distributed at 11 locations throughout the community.

If students with disabilities weren’t able to access the alternate learning models, case managers worked with individual families to try to meet their needs.

School counselors and mental health services were also available through MindPeace for students who needed them.

With all that careful planning, the district understood that students were coping with very different schedules, notes Betsy Fuller, director of school/community relations for Lakota Local Schools. “We cannot expect them to be available to take part in a video conference at a particular hour or even have an assignment done by the end of their typical class time,” she says.

“Likewise, many of our teachers have children at home and other responsibilities to juggle.” Assignments were typically posted on Mondays and students were given a week to complete them, although the district took into account the need for flexibility during the unusual circumstances.

KENTON COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

Serving 14,622 students, Kenton County already had built-in usable makeup days available in mid-March due to a mild winter. That gave the district time to roll out paper packet distribution (printable at home or at school), distribute Chromebooks to those who needed them, and develop a nontraditional instruction plan.

The district set up grab-and-go breakfast and lunch at all 18 school locations, handing out as many as 2,000 meals on some days. This in a district with 43.66 percent of students receiving free or reduced lunch, and an estimated 5 percent without a computer at home.

To turn in work, students could use blank paper and photograph and e-mail it in; type answers and e-mail them in; return their printed packets to the school or mail them in; and submit via Google Classroom.

To start, much of the work was review, as the district recognized how many kids were watching siblings while parents worked. (State tests did not take place in Kentucky this year, and national AP tests covered only what was on the curriculum prior to the closures.)

While teachers were meeting with students virtually via Google Meet or Skype,“a lot of it was just social and emotional connection to one another as a class,” says Jessica Dykes, director of public information and community engagement. “We know how important that is.”

Teachers held parades through students’ neighborhoods from their cars, each keeping their distance.

Some principals still made their morning announcements and posted them on social media. “And tons of students were logging in to hear that,” says Dykes. “It’s part of their routine.”

Superintendent Henry Webb posted videos online thanking students, families, and teachers, offering re-

assuring messages for those who found it difficult to juggle nontraditional schooling on top of the uncertainty around COVID-19. “We know everyone is doing their very best,” said Webb in one message to families, “and that looks different for each family.”

with mental illness, or Asian families experiencing acts of bias. It’s a time to reinforce one of the Mason district’s mottos (what the district calls “Big Rocks”), she says: “Inclusive Excellence.”

MASON CITY SCHOOLS

The state of Ohio closed schools the week of Sycamore’s planned Spring Break, so students returned to lessons March 23. Those in grades 5–12 already had Chromebooks available to take home regularly, and K–4 students (who each had Chromebooks at school) were given one to use at home via drive-thru pickups.

Teachers used virtual tools, such as Google Meet and Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, to connect with students virtually. Mallory Bonbright, Sycamore’s chief public relations and communications officer, notes that it was important for teachers to continue giving feedback to students on their assignments to keep them motivated during remote learning. Students in grades 5–12 moved to a pass/fail grading framework for the fourth quarter, she says, “in order to provide as much grace, balance, and equity as possible.” Students who made a valid effort to complete work would pass their subjects.

During the first full week of Sycamore’s remote learning, the district moved to a “modified block” format so students weren’t responsible for covering every subject area each day and could get work done without feeling overwhelmed. For younger students, this meant a bit of math or reading most days; a mix of art, music, or gym; and time on Fridays for fun activities or connecting with intervention specialists. High school students stretched their daily periods over two days at a time, with teachers available for live support during their assigned blocks.

Individual lessons were presented through a range of interactive activities, videotaped instruction, virtual activities, and other assignments across age groups.

While staff worked to figure out which services could be provided remotely to students with disabilities, the district recognized and explained to parents that those services would be different from what had been provided in school. Individualized Education Plan (IEP) teams are already convening to determine what impact school closures had on students’ targeted skills.

SYCAMORE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

The Friday before Ohio schools officially closed, Mason had to call off the day due to state restrictions on groups over 100. (School lunches there can easily number 500 or more.) Mason then rolled out its Remote Learning Experience (RLE) in phases over the first three weeks of the shutdown, with a week off in the middle for Spring Break.

Its Learning Momentum website offered curated online resources like Khan Academy and YouCubed for math, Code.org, iCivics, and the district’s library system. “Our first priority” in those early days, says Tracey Carson, the district’s public information officer, “was to ensure that we had plans to feed the children in our schools facing food insecurity.” Between child nutrition and transportation staff and community partners Joshua’s Place and Comet Cupboard, Mason quickly got seven community meal sites up and running.

The district has enough laptops for all its students, so starting April 6 it switched to learning plans that introduced new content and gave students time—according to their families’ schedules—to reinforce it.

Grades pre-K through 6 were given work designed to keep kids off screens for at least part of the day. It was up to older students whether they preferred to do a little from each subject each day or spend a whole day tackling the week’s assignment in a particular course.

Those receiving special services, such as gifted or reading support, were sent their work each week. English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers reached out individually by phone or virtual meeting to ESL students to update their learning plans.

If a silver lining is to be found, notes Carson, it’s “that our country can have a real conversation about access to high-quality education for all our nation’s children.” Especially at such a stressful time as this, she says, our schools must be a beacon of hope for the community—whether that’s families juggling work from home, parents who’ve lost a job, those struggling

ESPECIALLY AT SUCH A STRESSFUL TIME, SCHOOLS MUST SERVE AS A BEACON OF HOPE FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES.

SCHOOLS GUIDE 2020 Welcome to the 2020 Schools Guide, Cincinnati Magazine’s most comprehensive guide to 355 public and private schools in the three-state Cincinnati region. This guide offers relevant, up-to-date information for families looking for a new school for their kids or checking up on their current school, district, or diocese. The Schools Guide is a one-stop shop for comparing essential school information.

1 4 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E . C O M S C H O O L S G U I D E 2 0 2 0

Because the Cincinnati USA region spans three states, the Schools Guide is organized by state, and listings contain state-specific data for each private school, all public school districts, and all public high schools. Additionally, the Guide lists some national data, such as ACT scores.

The public school data was collected solely from the Department of Education databases for Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

Private schools are not required to divulge data to the state, though many have voluntarily reported theirs to the Guide.

Other information was pulled from school websites.

In Ohio and Kentucky, the Departments of Education have been working to change the way public school performance is reported. For Ohio schools, some newer data points are available in the listings, including the K–3 literacy score, which measures how successful districts are in helping struggling readers reach proficiency. We’ve also added the Prepared For Success grade, which measures how well high school students are prepared for future opportunities.

For more information, please visit the Department of Education websites for Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana.

WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE WEB TIPS FOR USING YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE TO BOOST YOUR ADMISSIONS PROFILE. Show your involvement in the community Posting about extracurricular or volunteer activities can help colleges see that you’re not afraid to share about your commitment to community.

1

Thoroughly inspect the pages or people you follow When deciding whether or not to like a social media page or follow a person, make sure the content matches up with your core values. Who you follow can tell universities a lot about your interests and character.

2

DON’T GET TANGLED UP

BY THE WEB Everyone’s social media footprint is an open book (and fair game) for college admissions officials as they evaluate prospective students. — L E A N N E S T A H U L A K IT’S NO SECRET THAT THE CURRENT GENERATION OF HIGH SCHOOLERS GREW UP tapping and swiping away at smartphones, and college admissions officers are paying attention to those taps and swipes. Miami University strategic communication professor Katie Day Good says that “young people face a higher bar of scrutiny and a different set of considerations” than those who applied for college before the time of Facebook and Snapchat. No pressure, right?

But colleges these days want a more holistic view of prospective students, and the content you post online reflects a part of you that doesn’t really show in test scores or official essays. That kind of exposure could hurt or help your chances of admission, so Good stresses that students should be “conscientious about the digital record they create online.”

Just remember that whether your accounts are set to private or public, information is almost always available somewhere. Good recommends “operating under the assumption that what you post online lingers forever, even if you delete posts or set your accounts to private.” And if you’re familiar with tools that can help “clean up and curate” your social media image, all the better. Students who take the time to understand their privacy settings and the controls they have as users, Good suggests, will be less likely to get slammed by incriminating screenshots and other tells.

Use your platform for civic or social discussion Social media presents a unique setting for engaging in discussion with a community of similar- or opposite-minded people. So long as you’re respectful, universities will recognize and appreciate your interest in current events.

3

Think about how your content reflects on you Your pics, your posts, your videos, your comments, your likes—these simple swipes of your thumbs could have a lasting impression on universities. So take a second to think before you tap, and remember that your activity will be visible for longer than you think.

4

Yes, it is OK to be yourself “As long as students approach these activities in a way that’s respectful, ethical, and not hurting or attacking others,” says Miami’s Katie Day Good, “they shouldn’t worry about their social media presence having a negative effect on their college applications.”

So retweet about your interests or post vacation pics—just remember that all of it represents who you are. – L . S .

COLLEGE RECRUITMENT DURING COVID-19 NOW MORE THAN EVER, ADMISSION OFFICES ARE TRYING TO BE ACCESSIBLE ON PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS’ TERMS. The outbreak of COVID-19 has changed everything about the college experience, from remote classwork to virtual commencements.

And that includes the admissions process, which is being forced to forego tried-and-true experiences like on-campus visits and in-person class observation.

Especially during this period of pandemic, Northern Kentucky University Director of Admissions Melissa Gorbandt stresses the importance of connecting with the current generation of high schoolers. “We need to be where the students are,” she says, “and we understand that mobile technology is where our students live. So we’re trying to deliver content for them through social media, through virtual tours, and through connecting via text messaging.”

NKU has employed all of these strategies and more to reach out to high schoolers. Between campuses closing and everyone being

urged to stay indoors, online admissions has become the only option for college recruiters.

Xavier University launched its own web channel to aid prospective students who can’t visit campus in person.

With the XU to You link, students can attend mock online classes, watch student panels, and set up Zoom meetings with admissions counselors. New information is added to the site every week as more students look for resources online.

Choosing a university is a challenging decision on its own, but with COVID-19 thrown into the mix, it’s become even more difficult for some high school seniors. But several

college admissions reps, like Xavier’s Midwest Regional Recruitment Director Julie Nelson, want to make the process as easy as possible.

So keep an eye out for different online and digital ways to connect with your top college choices as everyone struggles to adjust. “It’s a brand new world for all of us,” Nelson says.
