Indian Hills Elementary School

My son is two grades above average in reading. When I was told that they don't have time to teach him and that I should continue working with him at home, I knew he could no longer attend this school.

My girls are currently in Kindergarten and they just absolutely love their school and their teachers. I am very happy that they are attending Indian Hills Elementary and do appreciate all the help and support of the staff - most especially the teachers in Classroom #1

My son is in second grade at Indian Hills, and he's doing very well. Overall, this is a good school. The lunches they serve here, however, are absolutely unacceptable. There is nothing healthy in the lunches. This really needs to change.

I agree with the parent who posted yesterday; my experience has been less than favorable. I have a 2nd grader at Indian Hills and I feel the staff can be very unprofessional and unhelpful. Most other schools in the area have some sort of after school prgrams going on and Indian Hills has nothing: academic, recreational or after-school care. The activities they do have are generally very poorly planned. My daughter is doing well academically, but that's based mostly on natural ability. I don't feel the school is doing anything extraordinary to encourage or enhance her abilities.

My Daughter and Son have both been to Indian Hills Elementary School and we were all unhappy with this school. The staff is poor, and so is the saftey and rules of the school.

My children are in Kindergarten and Third grade at Indian Hills. This is their first year there. Since we have had to move around quite a bit, this is my Third graders 4th school since Kindergarten. Both my son and daughter are excelling wonderfully. In one semester my son (3rd grade) went from basic and below basic grades to above average in 3 of the 5 subjects graded on and not one below basic mark. Nor do I get phone calls or notes that he has been miss-behaving. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that the average class size is about 19 students instead of 30 per class like the previous schools he attended. His teacher seems to truely care about his education and it shows in his school work and his additude toward school all together.

The administrative staff is poor, also is the communication in all directions. I am satisfied with the teachers and methods of teaching, it appears they do a good job in that capacity, however for the past two years I've had little notice of several events which I would have liked like to participate in.

This school has a lack of music and art activities. I was told it is due to the increase in academic demands. The lunches at this school are disgusting. Nothing healthy. There are companies that contract to schools and provide a much healthier lunch. Do not let your kids eat the school lunch!

My two children attend Indian Hills, it's my son's 4th year and daughter 2nd. Great school, the teachers have been very good so far and we are looking for a new great year next year.
