I am a recent graduate of Zionsville, and I feel that my high school experience was great. I just recently graduated from Indiana University and I feel that Zionsville put me a step ahead of all of my friends at school. They really prepared me for the rigors of a college workload. I highly recommend

I graduated from ZCHS a couple years ago, and I must say, it really was an excellent school. There are a wide variety of classes, and the teachers are extremely knowledgable about their subjects. The administration maintains a great rapport with the students, although sometimes they kind of leave parents

While some people say there is a drug problem, I never felt pressured to take drugs, and neither did any of the people I was friends with. I never felt like it was a problem in the least. Read less

Communication with parents is terrible at the high school. Little differentiation in classroom instruction exists and 21st century skills are not promoted. The excellent communication of the previous principal has gone by the wayside with the existing principal.

We moved our children from Indianapolis where they attended a very expensive, well-known private school until the 6th (& 5th) grades. They were behind in their academics, and it took them some time to catch up. My children had no idea how to study nor how to take tests or quizes. Now they are in high

Of course, I attend the back-to-school nights, teacher conferences and help with all the volunteer events I can manager. My husband and I along with our boys are totally pleased with our decision to move to Zionsville. Yes, the school does have its problem kids and drugs and alcohol. But from every parent I talk to in all the public and private surrounding schools, they do also. Read less

Moving here from a great out of state school to Zionsville was a nightmare for our child. After promising the IEP would be followed before we moved, we found the middle school staff had no real experience or knowledge of an IEP, let alone how to implement an IEP. There was just a vague hope kids grow
... Read more out of these things as they get older (rather than an understanding of differences in learning and diagnoses). There are no standard accomodations offered for children with learning disabilities in Zionsville Middle School---only with state testing. None of the IEP was integrated into the daily classroom, although we tried to get ZMS to enact appropriate IEP accommodations. They did admit that a learning disabled child like ours could not successfully pass their old curriculum and testing design, although our student was very successful in the state testing scores.

Our family also was treated rudely -- when we tried to arrange a shadowing visit for our son, who was a top student at a private middle school. Apparently they had eliminated that program the year before (although they did offer us a tour of the facilities), but there was no reason to treat us with impatience
... Read more when we inquired. Our son decided to attend a private high school, where we were treated with warmth and respect even though we aren't wealthy. There is stiff competition among private and public schools for outstanding students these days, and the private schools are putting a lot of creativity and money into recruiting them. Unless this school begins treating families more graciously, it is going to continue to lose these top students to other institutions. Read less

I graduated from Zionsville a few years ago. Many of the students used drugs, but it wasn t a high pressure environment. There were no gangs, stealing, or any of the usual problems that surround the drug use. I would rate this school as a very friendly learning environment with motivated teachers,

I was one of the only minority students, and I did get some racist remarks. But that s something many of them will learn in college where majority of them will end up. Read less

I was surprised by the glowing reports of the parents who reviewed this school previously. My experience was significantly different. ZHS definitely has a drug problem, although I wouldn't say it is pervasive. I guess no school is immune. But my frustration was in the denial of the administration that
... Read more problems exist. As a parent, the level of response you get from administration is directly proportional to your level of status in the community. The office staff is difficult to deal with, and often quite rude to both students and parents. It seems a very clique based community and school. They cater to the upper 10% and have little resources or interest in the remainder of the students. I hate to write such a negative review, but after reading the others, I feel it important to add my unfortunate experience. Read less
