St Jude Elementary School

They expelled my KINDERGARTENER without explaining what they were doing.

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.

As a former student who attended Holy Cross from ages 2 to 14, I have experienced both the positive and negative aspects of this institution. However, my time at this school significantly impacted my mental health in ways that have continued into my high school years. I often felt isolated among my peers, and unfortunately, I received little support from the faculty. For students who are racial minorities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, or individuals with disabilities, I strongly caution against enrolling at Holy Cross. The environment can be detrimental to self-esteem and personal development, as students may find their identity shaped by external expectations rather than personal growth. If you choose to send your child to this school despite these concerns, please be aware of the potential impact it may have on their well-being.

i mean not the worst but not the best

Such a wonderful school with wonderful staff. Our son has been a student here for the past few years and he has grown so much. The children learn spanish, the only preschool I know teaching a foreign language in Fort Wayne. The staff truly cares about the students and enjoy being there every day to work. We can not say enough good things about Pine Hill, we will be so sad once our son is too old to attend.
