Elwood Middle School

I have had three children attend this school so far.Each child was different,and each was successfully directed to help and faculty specific to his/her temperament. The learning tools they were given helped them design a productive future for themselves, The labs and tech classes are very impressive and the teachers for core subjects are well trained,highly experienced,and have a genuine gift for transferring knowledge to children of all sorts.The sports programs are impressive,and welcome children of all levels of experience to participate in teams with excellent instruction. Well done!

I have to say I really like the school. There is alot of activities for the kids.The sports department is intense and the kids seem to enjoy the challenge. The teachers and parents are involved which is why this school succeeds. My son had been struggling in school until we came her and they noticed immediately that there was a problem. He got some services and is now doing much better. They do well on their state tests.The school is nurturing, challenging and safe. In the 3 years my son was here I very rarely heard of any incidents..There is no tolerance for bullying or disruption.My son was involved with Project Respect and sports. They have won championships too. I am more than happy with this school and district.

Elwood is a great school in a great community. The class size is not too small, but not huge. Our school was recently renovated with new windows, doors, bathrooms, and science labs. Our high school is a two time state championship for volleyball and a state championship for basketball.

A gem among gems! The caring principal and teachers make this a fantastic place to learn. Almost every parent in our district recognizes this school to be a very special place. There is a varied range or programs, from the accelerated curriculum to a great special ed programs.
