What school district is Start High School part of?
Roy C. Start is indeed one of the Top schools in Toledo Ohio. I realize that isn't saying much, however I have conversated with students their of all races and all seemed to be very intellegent and decent teens. Roy C. Start offers above and beyond the educational help and finacial help the students are in need of. The teachers are very knowledgable; and we as parents know that is extremely important for children; but not only are they knowledgable they "explain things well" - student I had interviewed. Many websites and letters are sent to parents throughout the year to keep parents involved. I would with all my knowledge recommend this school to any teen becoming a freshmen or deciding to switch schools.
