This school is absolutely mediocre. The teachers don't really care about the students, the food was cold and disgusting and the students there try to act all tuff and try to be "wannabe" gangsters. The staff don't even try to help students that are failing and dont even care sometimes. I never want
Posted by a community member on 7/31/2026I went to this school for 1 year and in that year the principal said he hated me. Not to mention the food was disgusting and also the fact that 99% of the kids who went here learned nothing. This school absolutely destroyed my mental health and I was thrilled to leave.
Posted by a community member on 7/31/2026I've come from a few different schools now, both of which were "early college" schools providing a plethora of advanced college courses and busy work schedules. When I came to Southside I expected to not be challenged. But, it proved my assumption wrong. This school has challenging courses regardles
Posted by a student on 3/28/2023Apologies for the long review!South Side often gets a bad reputation, but I don't believe that this is fair. Yes, not all teachers are perfect, and neither is the administration, but the students aren't perfect either. It can be a challenge managing a school where the student body is so diverse and

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePoor. 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.Parent Review6y ago - Harrison Hill Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved to this area a few months back and while my children have been to several other school before they have never had these types of problems. Constant bullying, teachers that do the bare minimum. Faculty that turns a blind eye to bullying. There is zero follow up from the staff concerning any of the problems I've brought to their attention. By far the worst school my kids have ever attended and should be shut down. We are literally in the process of finding another school to send our children. If my review doesn't tell you enough, just look at the scores for the school. It's falling in every way possible. Really sad.Parent Review8y ago - South Wayne Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am an alumni and proud staff member of this great school! Not only do they care about the student's education but they help shape students into becoming the best they can be. This is not just a school it's a family where we experience growth in different areas of life. Cornerstone is not just a place of education but it's also a place where leaders are trained to walk into the fullness of their destinies!Teacher Review11y ago
