I am a staff member at the school. If you are thinking of applying to work at Elkhart in ANY capacity, STAY AWAY!! You will be put through a lot of scrutiny by the current principal. She was promoted three years ago. Since she took over the school, the test schools have been steadily declining. Teachers are extremely unhappy. Close to 40 staff members from paras to teachers left the building over a two-year period. If you are disliked by the principal, she will do everything to distroy your career, reputation, and your self-esteem. The school transformed from a vibrant, happy, and inclusive space into something lifeless—like the Walking Dead.

I no longer go to this school, but I felt as if I needed to leave a review about this. I found that I was satisfied with how easy it was, it made me almost excited to go because of how easy everything was—but that could possibly be because I am gifted. I found myself slightly bored by the material, and I found that I was VERY neglected when it came to math. I was encouraged to learn, and become better, and I do appreciate that, although I cannot help but feel as if I wasn't given the materials. At least in my time here, we never really had a stable math teacher, or any teacher in that case. Teachers would come, and they would go, they'd quit, and then a new one would come in. The substitute teachers do not really care about our learning, I found that our math period was more of a free period. If you want to use that time to learn, then I guess it will benefit you, but if you are every student, including me.. I find that you will be left behind. The students are kind, but also not given the materials to shine as bright as they could. They showed mercy to me when other schools would've devoured me. As all schools do, there will be bullying, but it isn't as bad as other schools. They handle it well, and the students have empathy and care for others. I didn't really learn much that I didn't know already, and other students had hard time grasping the materials. They bring you on many field trips, and try their best with what they have. The only unfortunate part, is that they do not have much to work with. I see a bright future for this school, and I appreciate the 'opportunities' that were made for me. Thank you!
