I went to Cleveland from kindergarten to the begging of sixth grade and let me just say it is in my opinion a really good school now im in eighth grade and I know some things that I learned a little early on before the other students because I went to Cleveland . Though this school has uniforms and now is only pk-6 it still is great.
