Homer Iddings Elementary School

I use to attend this school in the early 2000s. I was held back for my behavior and education. Now that I'm grown and have children myself i see where Fieler dropped the ball. Fieler can not handle children with a disability instead they will hold your child back. The school does not have the resources for children that suffer from behavioral issues. They definitely will suspend your child with no type of plan. They do not give children IEPs or anything. I would not recommend Merrillville School District to anyone.

It was a rough transition from another school but the principal, social worker and some teachers have made the transition to 3rd grade exceptional.

There is a high turn over rate in teachers the school show favoritism towards their children . Ever since Principle Megan V b the school has went down hill to the point that I decided to remove my children after 8 years They depend on public transportation and do not know how to communicate to parents let alone teach the children . There is no diversity theirs is no gym yet the get almost 8000 a year for each chil and there is over 200 students there Where are the funds going ?!?

MAITO was the answer to our conundrum... a Montessori that went past kindergarten that wasn't 45 minutes away. They've been very welcoming and have worked with find the right classes for our kids. Love how engaged the community and parents are!

I love their whole person approach to the education of the child. Their academic program is very strong but they teach skills beyond textbook. They learn about communication skills, collaboration, team building, critical thinking and many real-life skills. As parents of middle schooler, we have no doubt that our kid will be well prepared for any high school and beyond.
