This is a great school. The teachers really care about the students and there is no tolerance for bullying. The kids all seem to get along for the most part. Very diverse school and the PTO always tries to do something fun for the kids. Not a lot of volunteerism among parents, and there hasn't ever been a field trip since my oldest child started there in 1st grade. She's in 4th now.

My son goes to 1st grade in this school and He is happier in this school.Before this he went to a private kindergarten school which I thought should have better academic programs but I was wrong. This school is above my expectation.

I am very satisfy with Indiana Avenue School #18. My son is in the afternoon Kindergarten and he is very happy with his teacher Mrs. Glagola. She is an excellent teacher and all the staff in the school is extremely responsible.
