Bexley City School District

Bexley City School District Following our mission to Learn with Curiosity. Demonstrate Kindness. Embrace Equity. They have access to a wide variety of courses and extra-curricular programs.

Bexley’s neighborhood schools are the center of a stable, close knit community. Students benefit from the small class sizes that permit personal attention and foster academic excellence. A high level of community involvement characterizes the Bexley school system, which receives considerable support from the nonprofit Bexley Education Foundation. Financial ratings institutions praise Bexley’s soun

d financial operations, solid voter history and conservative fiscal management. Educating the “whole child” is a core value in Bexley, with the school district invested in programs that enhance the overall wellness of school community members. Unlike most public schools, Bexley has free, all-day kindergarten and foreign language instruction in the elementary grades. Certified professionals teach visual and performing arts throughout the K-12 curriculum. A high percentage of students are involved in extracurricular activities with 75 percent of high school and middle school students participating in at least one athletic activity. U.S. News & World Report and Newsweek magazines have recognized Bexley High School as one of the top public high schools in the country.

🍲 A fun idea turned into a tasty experience at Montrose!

Second grader Avery Mixture asked Head Cook Ms. Jess Bartimus about making Peas Porridge for students. Known for her playful banter, Ms. Bartimus challenged students to find a way to make Peace Porridge happen, and they did!
