Studebaker Primary Center

This school doesn't deserve a star! My child's second year at this school and I say this is one of the most careless schools of the South Bend Corporation, I really mean it! Safety is a huge issue here. Threats taken lightly and I do not appreciate their lunch monitor. School is in need of an upgrade and I cannot take the principal serious. If your living in the area, I encourage you to find a different school within the vicinity.

Wonderful school, i don't know what else to say! Wish they had middle school too. They really care about our kids and their future.

9/10 due to the new principal. I feel that the new staff at the school has truly been an improvement and will continue to provide the best education for the children.

My 3 sons had an amazing experience. They graduated from Marion and went on to college and all 3 graduated with degrees. Our family continues to be involved.

If your kids fits in, good. If not it’s not going to work out for you. This is not a place for latest and greatest practices. There are empty slogans like “dress for success” that are pretty hollow. Leadership is particularly weak in handling trouble makers but are quick to examine belt color. None of the teachers are intellectuals though some try hard. Faith education efforts are good and is a strong point. Academics are good for most students. If your student is behind they will not catch up or get ahead... it’s a tough love kind of place academically. Look. If your kid is charismatic and can get accepted OR you’re in the Notre Dame community or you’re rich then everything will be fine. If you’re different there will be a few rich white doctors kids or Notre dame kids who will make life hard for your kid and you will get no support from the leadership. They believe their own hype though so you probably won’t get anywhere.

We have had a great experience with SCS this year and are very impressed by the entire team of professionals who bring outstanding programming, curriculum content, and focus on the social and educational development for each student. We also appreciate the large presence of parent and family involvement at events, it’s great to see!
