Education – “Academic Excellence”

     High expectations and support from the Reynoldsburg community have contributed to years of academic improvement for the students at Reynoldsburg City Schools. 

     Reynoldsburg school and community leaders have rallied behind the idea that students in the district are not only entitled to a good education, but to an exceptional one.  Everyday we strive to meet those expectations – everyday we are embracing excellence in education.   The school district’s operating budget is among the lowest in the area and the school board, administrators, teachers and community members have made a commitment to finding new and innovative ways to accomplish their goals.  In a city that is challenged by its growth, the Reynoldsburg community continues to embrace its children and consistently shows its confidence in the Reynoldsburg City School District. 

     Reynoldsburg has developed one of the more innovative curricula in Central Ohio and it has drawn national attention for mentoring and other programs linking the schools to local businesses.  The district has implemented aggressive character education initiatives in every building.  The high school fosters personalized, small-group education and alternative programs, such as Trailblazers, for at-risk students and the school district sponsors two community schools that provide further academic programming choices for students and parents/guardians.  In addition, Reynoldsburg City Schools offers educational programming for gifted students at all grade levels. The schools have won nine Best Practices Awards and a Best of the Best Award from the Ohio Business Roundtable.  Former Secretary of Education, Lamar Alexander, presented Reynoldsburg City Schools with the “A+ for Breaking the Mold Award,” the only school district in the United States to achieve this recognition. Senator George Voinovich said the Reynoldsburg City Schools were, “A model district for all of Ohio.” 

     But, the Reynoldsburg City School District still remains hungry for more.  Adequate yearly progress for every child will continue to drive our minds and our methods.  Graduation and attendance goals will continue to be on our list of high priorities.  Reynoldsburg City Schools will continue to strive for more … more progress at every level … more improvement in every child.  As a school district, we are effective.  Strong community support, and teachers, administrators, and students who care a great deal, have made possible the high quality of education and the many improvements in Reynoldsburg City Schools’ facilities and educational programming.  In addition to academic classes, students can choose from a wide range of extracurricular and co-curricular activities to help them prepare for life. 

     Yes, Reynoldsburg students are embracing their own education and learning more at a higher level.  Teachers, administrators and parents are embracing a work ethic that continuously strives to leave no child behind.  Reynoldsburg City Schools … Embracing Excellence in Education, as we continue to embrace every child in our community.
