I had 3 students attend this school. 1 special needs, 1 gifted, 1 average. All 3 of my kids had excellent teachers and made excellent progress at this school. My special needs student had great intervention specialists and speech specialists and thrived at Cline. IEP meeting were organized and teachers/staff listened to our concerns and we worked as a team to create the best atmosphere possible for my student. I had similar experience with my gifted student. My average student loved Cline.

Not sure why the low ratings on equity and diversity...Cline is zoned in an area where there is very diverse socioeconomically families (section 8 to above upper middleclass). Not only is the student body diverse but the educators are diverse too - many male and/or multiethnic staff are present here, which is reflective of the student body. One year, my kid only had 2 female teachers (Tech and library) and everyone was male which is great! The staff really takes it time to nurture each student's ability. As far as physical abilities, if your student is requiring ADA access, they would attend a school and be bussed to another Centerville school that has that access (Cline being an older building has steps throughout). I am glad we are in the Centerville City School district! You won't be disappointed!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Cline. The teachers, staff and principal are amazing and dedicated. The school has a strong sense of community and values treating others with kindness and respect through thought, talk and real action. We couldn't be happier with the school or the education with for our children. We are so thankful for Centerville schools, and especially Cline.

I felt the teachers cared about my son's inability to communicate with others. He got one on one guidance from a reading specialist and speech therapist. This was so crucial in my son's development. The staff worked with us, reviewing what their plans were and what my concerns were and together my son developed the skills to talk, to read and to write. I'll be forever grateful for the time my son spent at this school.

We love Cline. The community is diverse with students from several different cultures. Our students participate in the CARE program and are taught Citizenship, Accountability, Respect and Empathy and they are doing a great job with it. My children have always had excellent, caring and challenging teachers.

"Cline kids care!" How fun! I probably still have the CD i made in fifth grade where we sang that. Cline provided me with excellent fundamentals. There was a lot that was offered here, and I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. It's a difficult time, but you learn and grow. Keep up the good work, Cline!

Some of the teachers are good, but some are not. Bullying is a big problem that the principal ignores. Students are discouraged from "thinking outside the box".
