I suspect most of these reviews are written by someone other than a non teacher parent. Grammar correctness, highly inflated reviews. Myself, I am considering legal action against this school. Unaddressed bullieing, total unprofessionalism, sexism, etc. Where did they find these people that do every thing but teach. Egomaniacle, liberalists that even admitted sexism to me!! And the list goes on, I have talked to other parents with all having shockingly similar experiences.

My daughter has been at Templeton for over 4 years and I am so happy I decided to send her to Templeton. I was looking for a school that was more diverse (which is harder to find in places like Bloomington) and that focused on the whole child, not just test scores and academics. I am an education researcher and know that while I could have afforded to send her to schools like Child's, she would have had a very different educational experience. If you are like me and want your children in a racially and economically diverse school with a holistic approach to learning and invested teachers, this is the place!!!

The bilingual storyhours and food pantry programs run through the school are a great asset to the community, and teach students valuable lessons about diversity!

This is my daughter's first year- Kindergarten and she comes home beaming just about every day. Her teacher, Mr. Glenn plays guitar in his class each day. I think it is great that this school emphasizes music and art so much, when so many schools are eliminating them or cutting funding.

It's a very parent-involved school!

This is a community of teachers who work so hard with students and have bent over backwards to make this a loving environment for out kids. When our children were born, my husband and I moved from Indianapolis to Bloomington JUST TO BE PART of this school. It is not the richest school or the 'Five Star School' that people are flocking to take their children to. This is a school who loves kids and deserves every kudo that they deserve. Please let me know what I can do to make this school a winner!

It has been a good place to learn for my grandchildren. It has included not only a good education but excellent enrichment activities

The teachers are welcoming, the children love it and they are getting a good education.

Templeton is a real neighborhood school with caring teachers and families. The combination of multi-age and single-year classrooms helps meet the needs of a very diverse student body. My children enjoy going to school and love learning, largely because of the encouragement, nurturing, and respect they have received from their teachers at Templeton.

I love Templeton because the teachers give 101%. They care about the children - in the classroom and out. It's where our children's sense of community really begins.

The multi age environment is unique. The sense of community it fosters carries forward with all the students throughout the rest of their secondary education.

Templeton Elementary, with over half of its students receiving free or reduced lunches has amazing resiliency! Innovative programs survive and children want to make sense of the world around them. It truly feels like a neighborhood school!

Templeton is a great school! It is full of dedicated teachers and our boys are eager to go to there everyday! It is one of the few schools which has multi-age classrooms. Very pleased with this school all around!
