If I would have known how terrible Henryville school is, I would have never moved to this area. My kid has always done great in school, despite having a disability. Now grades have dropped significantly, they have no tutoring programs to help struggling children. What they teach and how they teach it is completely different from when I was in school. I struggle to help when it is needed as it seems to create more confusion. When you ask teachers if they can help, they just tell you to have your kid get on their Chromebook at home and use prerecorded tutoring videos from whoever their virtual textbook providers are. Which is no where near the same as having an actual person to help them that they can ask questions to. This school may be okay for students who have no disabilities or learning delays. If you have a kid with a disability or learning delays, I would not recommend this school at all. You will struggle to get them to follow your child’s IEP as well. They will set up a meeting with you when your child starts there and try to come up with every reason they can as to why they need to remove certain things out of your child’s IEP, even though this IEP is what your child has been using since they started school and it has been successful. Just overall terrible. There are buses that come from Charlestown that will meet in Henryville so you can send your kid there instead if you can get a transfer approved. I believe Scottsburg does as well, but not positive. So that is the route I am going to be looking into.

The school does not care about bullying and they will not do anything to prevent it, most students there feel as if the teachers are unfair and do not talk to them in a respectful way. If you’re not from a certain family with a last name that they like you will not be treated fairly. The quality of education is terrible and they only care about funding. Favoritism definitely has a play in the school. IEP‘s are being ignored.
