My school is Indian Creek Elementary School in Kansas City, Missouri. The teachers are great. Dr. Price, the Principal is wonderful and always welcoming.

This is our first and final year, and we have thoroughly enjoyed being at ICE. The teachers and principal are wonderful.

I love Indian Creek Elementary. From day one I felt very much a part of the I.C.E. family. The principal is very kind and warm. I am a huge fan of the uniforms and I believe they promote equality. The school as a whole looks more unified and professional. The teachers are wonderful and really strive to make I.C.E. the best it can be. This is our 4th year at Indian Creek Elementary and we have enjoyed it. The ART teacher is amazing...she provides a wonderful environment and foundation for all the students. The P.E. teacher has a very positive effect on not only the physical fitness of children, but their attitude and health. The music teacher shows his passion about music and is dedicated to creating a fun learning environment. I.C.E rocks!

My son has attended this school for two years and we've been very happy with it. The principal is very caring and the teachers all seem great. They have a wonderful accelerated program and fantastic art and music teachers. Communication with parents is excellent.

I love this school. Indian Creek has wonderful, caring teachers, a great support staff, the art teacher is terrific and the music teacher shows great enthusiasm and has a wonderful knowledge of music. If you walk the halls of the school you will see tons of children's art work, school work, pictures of children, boards full of goals and meeting goals. Everyone should get such a good start in education!
