Julie Billiart Schools has been awarded the Top Workplaces 2026 honor by cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer for the seventh year in a row.
This recognition is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures the employee experience, including to what degree employees feel respected & supported, enabled to grow, and empowered to execute.
“I’m proud that Julie Billiart Schools has earned this recognition for a seventh consecutive year,” said President and CEO Lannie Davis-Frecker. “Feedback from our faculty and staff is so important to our success as a network and in turn, this sets our students up to succeed, grow and thrive.”
Now with four campuses operating at full capacity, Julie Billiart Schools finished the 2025-26 with 51 new hires, a record number of students enrolled and a record percentage of families returning (95%). Heading into the 2026-27 year, JB boasts a 90% faculty and staff retention rate.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That's something to be proud of. Leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount.”

Julie Billiart Schools gave us hope after our daughter was diagnosed with a learning disability. At JB, she thrived in the small classes, received necessary therapies, and developed the self-confidence to ask for help when she needed it.

All of the teachers and staff at JB are patient and willing to take the extra time to make sure we, as parents, understand and are comfortable.

They have all the resources necessary, specialized to the individual learning of each child, and the heart that goes with it. I don't think we would have stayed in Ohio if it wasn't for JB!

My kids love everything about JB and look forward to going to school every day and seeing their friends and teachers. JB is truly a one of a kind school enriching young lives everyday.

I don’t think I will ever be able to put into words how grateful I am that you saw my daughter for all that she is today and all that she is yet to become.

Julie Billiart Schools has helped my child become a better version of himself. The teachers and therapists at JB really know and understand how to reach children who learn differently.
