Daviess County High School

Teachers and principal are very knowledgeable and caring.Very active in kids mental and education skill development.

Simply the BEST! Deer Park has helped all of my children find their talents and grow those talents. One of my children was gifted and she had opportunities to do projects that she enjoyed and could learn deeply about the subject. My son enjoys the clubs and extra things the school does to make learning fun. My youngest got to be on the news show and that made his year. The librarian and the counselor are the nicest people ever. The principal and the teachers really care about my children and I am thankful that my children go to school at an International Baccelaurette school that teaches about helping our community and all the important academic stuff too. THANK YOU DEER PARK!

Our experience at Burns Elementary was absolutely terrible. My children in 2nd grade and kindergarten faced bullying that was consistently ignored by staff. The teachers were unsupportive, and my child came home crying almost daily, afraid to go back. Academically, they learned nothing due to the chaotic and unsafe environment. The second-grade math instruction caused nothing but high levels of stress. Instead of teaching the standard methods appropriate for their grade level, students were only shown confusing and ineffective strategies, leaving them frustrated and without a solid understanding of basic math concepts. When I asked the teachers to help me understand the math they were teaching so I could support my child at home, they were dismissive and condescending—treating me as if I were unintelligent, despite my college education. Their attitude was not only unprofessional but incredibly rude and unhelpful. Recess was a joke—only 10 minutes long, limited to one classroom at a time, and often cut short by discussions about classroom behavior. They often took away a students recess time as punishment if they did not fall in line with what the teachers wanted them to do. The actual playtime was minimal and heavily restricted, with strict rules that prevented kids from playing freely as children should.The principal and administration were completely unhelpful and dismissive. They seemed to care more about themselves than the well-being of my children. On top of that, the school repeatedly disregarded my clear instructions regarding my child’s diet, giving them sugary and restricted foods despite multiple requests.Several of my neighbors have children on the spectrum, and they’ve made it very clear that Burns Elementary is not equipped to support autistic students. Rather than provide help, the school would rather remove these children than support their success. Of the many parents I’ve spoken to since moving to this town, not one has had anything good to say about this school. If you ask my second grader, she would tell you it was a nightmare and trying to undo what that school has done has been very challenging.

They go above and beyond to help the students and are making huge strides to help them learn.

I had an exceptional experience with Maximilian Montessori Academy. The dedication of the staff to fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment for children is truly remarkable. The Montessori approach they follow ensures personalized learning and holistic development. The facilities are well-maintained, and the curriculum is thoughtfully designed. My child's growth, both academically and socially, has been outstanding since joining. I couldn't be happier with the choice to enroll at Maximilian Montessori Academy. Five stars without a doubt!

This is a great school with caring staff. The staff and students pull together to help each other out. The teachers are excellent and the students are amazing.
