At North Royalton City Schools, students are the focal point of all that we do. Academic programs are designed to build and reinforce critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. The District is ranked as one of the finest in the State of Ohio. The community takes pride in knowing the District is doing its best to prepare children for their future careers and to be outstanding contributing citizens to our society.
The District serves more than 4,100 students from the cities of North Royalton and Broadview Heights. Our three buildings include North Royalton Elementary School (Grades Preschool-4), North Royalton Middle School (Grades 5-8) and North Royalton High School (Grades 9 to 12).
North Royalton City Schools offers education of the highest quality while at the same time maintaining fiscal responsibility to its taxpayers. The District continues to ensure that while operating with one of the lowest per-pupil expenditures in the county, students receive the same quality education that the communities of North Royalton and Broadview Heights have come to expect. The District consistently receives the Auditor of State Award with Distinction for a “clean” financial audit report. This year marks the 28th time the District received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association. Biagio Sidoti, the District’s treasurer, was recognized as the “Best in the State of Ohio” as the 2018 Treasurer of the Year by the Ohio Association of School Business Officials.
With a solid academic base developed at the elementary and middle school levels, students are well prepared to select either a challenging college-preparatory and/or a comprehensive career preparatory program when they enter high school. North Royalton High School offers 198 courses, including 15 Advanced Placement courses and 18 Honors classes. The District provides outstanding special education and related services for students with disabilities, as well as career-based education through the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center (CVCC).
The District offers every-day, all-day kindergarten option in addition to its traditional half-time program. Elementary schools provide students many opportunities to expand their knowledge through special interest clubs and leadership programs. Middle school and high school students have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of intramural and interscholastic athletics, as well as a large spectrum of clubs, leadership opportunities, and scholastic achievement organizations.
Parents are encouraged to become actively involved in our schools. There is a PTA at each building. Parents and residents also serve in an advisory capacity to the administration through committees such as the Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Committee; Business Advisory Council; Senior Citizen Advisory Council; Financial Advisory and Audit Committee; and the Community Facilities Advisory Committee. Our Band Boosters, Choir Boosters, and Athletic Boosters have raised thousands of dollars to support the athletic and music programs, as well as supporting our students every time they march out onto the field or appear on a stage.
North Royalton City Schools is dedicated to providing the education students need today to prepare them for the world of tomorrow. With the help and support of our community, we look forward to creating new levels of greatness.
