Read what parents are saying about Hickory Elementary SchoolThough no preschool, my child had "passed" a review from a panel of professional observers to admit my 3 week early admittance child into kindergarten. Two weeks after school had begun, we were invited to a meeting with Doctor, that was not present at the actual meeting. They made their decision without a doctor, to be "de-enrolled" They listed him as a special needs child and to be evaluated through their pre-school staff. They presented overwhelming data that he was a danger and a safety liability to the other students in his class, as well as himself. The sudden news of by Hickory Staff collective agreement to us was very shocking and concerning to us, considering the personality that the school was presenting a danger to other students as well as himself , "un-sustainable"'. We tried to explain that he did not exhibit violent behavior at home. Also that he could navigate through first grade computer keyboard IXL almost entirely on his own, they seemed to ignore. We asked the school, is there any intimate training to students? In answer they replied that due to the pandemic, they now are short staffed and cannot provide that type of interaction that they normally would. On our way out of the school, they answered my wife's request to return the school supplies $ invested for that year. The principal offered to return at a later date. To this date were not answered to be invited to get any of it back.As a response, we did enroll him into preschool in another district. Since then, now he can count to 100+ in English, Chinese, and up to 20 in Spanish. And can recite all the basic colors and shapes in translation by memory to Spanish that he just learned in preschool, only by visualization. Is the top of his 24 class in this regard. On the contrary to Hickory, has weekly reports of his conduct which all show high achievement. Question, can any model student in Hickory kindergarten achieve all this? At least he is not presently in a preschool controlled group in special needs education as Hickory elementary "so strongly" implied, as they made a case their collected data was presented by panel. Kind of resembles the no child left behind law, and more. Because he is half Chinese?
Posted by a parent on 3/18/2022I rated my experience the way I did because in my 5 years there, I never met a teacher I didn't like. I enjoyed all the refreshing curriculum, fun activities, and amazing staff. I wouldn't have wanted to attend school anywhere else!
Posted by a community member on 3/24/2020We moved here in May 2015, they made the transition very easy. The teachers and staff are SO nice and made my daughter (Kindergarten) feel very welcomed.
Posted by a parent on 4/16/2015New to this school as of April 2014. Transition could not have been easier. Amazing caring principal and teachers. Very strong PTO with lots of parents that really are involved. Great office staff. Very pleased to be at Hickory!

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe just visited White Oak Elementary school in Avon, IN for our neighbors daughters' preschool admission. Stephanie, the teacher who was supposed to talk to us did not even bother to talk to us or even ask us to wait. We waited nearly for 45 minutes to even be recognized that we were there. She spoke to all parents before us and two families after us but did not care to talk to us or turn to our sides. Finally, another teacher came in and found that we were still waiting to talk to Stephanie, only then Stephanie decided to talk to us. Oh, when she was supposed to be talking to us, she decides to entertain two other kids and not bother to fully listen to what we are asking. This was a special back to school night for parents. Guess what, I will publish this review in as many places as I can to ensure I stop new students going to this school. Gone are the days where teachers actually listened and educated. A very few good teachers also get bad names because of worst teachers like Stephanie.Parent Review8mo ago - Maple Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageKingsway School is an amazing place. The staff and teachers genuinely care about their students and the spiritual climate is healthy and grounded in God's word. My experience at Kingsway has been one of genuine care for all people, a love for God, and a pursuit of excellence in academics and in all areas of discipline. Their athletics, arts, music, and extra curriculars are outstanding and their consistent devotion to God's Word and discipling the hearts of students is truly remarkable. Kingsway fosters a unique, positive culture of family. We are so glad to be a part of the KCS family.Parent Review3y ago
