Memorial Park Middle School

They expelled my KINDERGARTENER without explaining what they were doing.

Poor. They are the first acredited public montessori school, but student to teacher ratios make it impossible for them to flourish as a montessori school. Too many adults are interacting with each child with inconsistent discipline techniques, making it confusing for a child. There are too many transitions during the day with a special on each day, making it difficult for children to achieve the focus needed for montessori education. Standardized requirements for kindergarteners means that the children are separated from the 3-6 age block (and their teacher) for half of the day. Private montessori schools are the only real place to go for a true montessori education in Fort Wayne. Don't have your hopes up about Bunche.

I had two daughters attend Forest park (4 yrs apart so we had 10 years of experience with the school. Most of the staff were very passionate and caring. This school has a very diverse student population and we were so pleased with our kids starting their learning here we kept them enrolled even after we moved out of the district. Yes a few issues popped up over the years but they were handled well and it was nothing outside what you’d expect from an elementary school. The newly renovated playground is a bonus for the kids but space is tight at the school because it’s 100yrs old. The pick up and drop off clog the neighborhood so be prepared for that. But overall all it’s a great school and I would recommend it to any parents who value not just the book learning but a whole educational environment that produces great little humans.

Do I have to explain? This place is buns
