Eldon Ready Elementary School

dI just recently moved 3kmiles to indiana. Ive been trying to register my kids in "Ready" elementary and have encountered the worst and non professional staff at "Ready" elementary! They are very rude. I asked them for information and did not get it. And talking to other parents they have recieved the same treatment and now are transfering their kids to other schools. So parents beware.

I had a 2nd grader and a kindergartner in this school. The 2nd grader loved his teacher and we felt he learned alot (though I would've liked him to be a little more challanged in math). The kindergartener, on the other hand, HATED going to school and I felt a lot of resistance and discouragement from his teacher-I even felt like she picked on my child (and he did too). Red and yellow cards home everyday were enough to make everyone in my home upset, especially when he went to preschool for 2years and his teacher had nothing but good things to say (I even went back to her for her opinion and can not tell you how surprised she was to hear he was having such problems). Twice my children were let to walk home by themselves when we were late to pick up-dangerous? Yes

I just moved here from Chicago in January so my children started in the middle of the year. I have two boys, a 1st grader and a 3rd grader. My 3rd grader has been struggling in this class since the beginning and I will have to say that the teachers are very involved with him and always communicate with me and my husband in regards to where our children are at in the class. Although my 3rd grader is behind a little, they are really consistent with trying to help as much as possible. The only downside is that they do not offer extra credit or tutoring which I believe all schools should have due to the variety of kids learning abilities. Overall though it is a pretty decent school, no major complaints.

This school is fantastic. All of my children attend and scored pass+ on the ISTEP exams. The parent involvement is out of this world.

I have two children currently enrolled here. They both love their teachers and are really doing well with the curriculum. I like the regular communication that we parents have with the teachers and the principal.

My son goes to this school and he comes home everyday complaining about the unfairness and the teachers not teaching him anything.

My daughter goes to this and she loves it. Mr. Brown make sure he keeps the parents informed and they're always having something for the kids to keep them entertained and occupied. I'm from Chicago where they have a really bad public school system. I would'nt trade this school system with Chicago ever. My daughter learns more than I would have ever guessed. Ready keep up the good work.

I was extremely disappointed when my son attended Ready.While there are a few good teachers who seem to want to educate,there are way to many that had petty issues and would have rather dealt with that then to actually teach.I am hoping that with a new principal,the school has changes for the better,but I have my doubts as I still a few teachers are there that should have stopped teaching when they got burned out years ago.

The academic programs are on point. My children are really learning a lot. Mr. Brown is very good with the children and parents. Mrs. Lomax has brought so much to the school for the PTC. The fun fair was the best and my daughter still has not stopped talking about the father daughter dance. The school has become more personal to everyone, now just people in the click. Keep up the good work for our kids.

So far so good. My son really likes the school the teachers and the students. He is now being offered speech which wasn't available to him at his previous school and he is so excited. I believe I made a great choice putting him in Ready.
