Lots of opportunities to take college or AP classes, or if the student has learning disabilities or needs extra help, classes are tailored for that as well. Many of the teachers care about their students. Very large and diverse student body. Opportunities are available for people interested in music and art as well as computer classes. Better sports organization is needed as well as more sports to choose from. There are many clubs that cater to different students' needs and identities. The security guards are not the best, however, and there have been some reports or rumors of relationships between students and guards (less prevalent than before). The school could do a better job with making sure their students are more hygienic (there are a good amount of children who come in dirty and with bedbugs). But if a family is looking for a school that is diverse and has various levels of classes, look no further than Elyria.
