Revere Local School District
The Revere Local School District is a school district in Ohio, located directly between Bath and Richfield Village, Ohio. The District is broken up into four schools, Revere High School, Revere Middle School, Bath Elementary School, and Hillcrest Elementary School.
The Revere School Local School District, which is located in northeastern Ohio between the cities of Akron and Cleveland, was formed in the early 1950s after the communities of Bath and Richfield voted to combine their two smaller school systems. The consolidation was approved and the new district was named the Revere Local School District.
Roy Pugh, the first superintendent, had managed the merger of the districts. He continued to be employed as a high school teacher after he resigned from his superintendent position in 1954.[1]
The Board of education at that time purchased land for future use. Over the next decade a high school, middle school and an elementary school were built. The district continued to use Bath Elementary School and a substantial addition was added to that facility.
In July 1970 a portion of the Revere District was transferred to the Highland Local School District.[2]
The district has achieved an "Excellent" rating on the Ohio Department of Education's Local Report Card since this rating system was implemented in 2000.[citation needed]
The district's population is a mix of professional, business and technical personnel who are proud of their schools. The household income in the area is significantly higher than both the state average and national average. The level of parental and community support for the students and schools is higher than most schools. The area surrounding the district abounds in cultural, recreational and educational opportunities. It is close to major expressways which provide easy access to Akron, Cleveland, and the Ohio Turnpike, yet still retains a rural character.[citation needed]
