Wow! What an amazing school! As a new family moving into the area mid-year, we were shown such hospitality and encouragement. The principal, Ms. Collins, is enthusiastic and accessible, and all of the office administrators and teachers were welcoming. Our kids were nervous about switching schools, but Eastern Pulaski Elementary really rolled out the red carpet to make them feel at home. We came from a very good school in a large city, and were nervous about making the switch, but I now think that we're in great hands. If you're a parent looking to move your kids into the area, I can speak from firsthand experience that you'll find a great elementary school here!

graduated from winamac with honors but i still didnt learn much. a good amount of the staff are just people they hired on because theyre from the town. the select few teachers in the combined middle and high school building who are able to teach are stuck without students because their classes are considered too "high level" for the general school population. because of the disproportionate education a lot of the kids are getting, teachers are flooded with students during certain classes. i know that the 10th grade english teacher, as smart and able to teach as he is, is stuck with a sweaty classroom with nearing 30 students. the art teacher, although i love her, tries to tell the kids not to say god or jesus christ because of her religious views; her mother when helping her to prepare for school one year also put crosses with oil on the bottom of the stools in that class. this school struggles to separate between religion and basic knowledge, its embarrassing to say i graduated from here. because it is a poor community as well, even people who are like i was an try their hardest to succeed and be smart will end up struggling once they leave that school and town. this school is also so incredibly cliquish that it hurt; i was bullied and no one cared because my family wasnt from that town. unless your family is from that town, you are going to end up an outcast.

I absolutely love the teachers and their methods. My son originally went to school in Hobart Indiana and was failing the fifth grade. When we moved his grades improved dramatically. He went from C's, D's, and F's to A's and B's. They are absolutely amazing and always keep the parents involved. We are a small community and everyone looks out for eachother.
