All three of our children attended The Orchard School. We are very pleased with the education they…read morereceived and so are they. I've often tried to sift through all our years and determine what they most learned/received at Orchard and if I had to pick one attribute (and there are many), I'd pick confidence. They are all confident public speakers. For example, when my daughter was a junior in high school, she won an award that required her to speak at a dinner with over 400 people present. I tried several times to get her to practice and review her speech in advance, knowing that the previous recipient had a professional speech writer. In frustration, one evening she said, "Mom, I went to Orchard. Don't worry." She delivered a flawless speech without notes. They are all confident about their ability to learn. Orchard likes to say they help create lifelong learners and they do. Each of our children knows how to learn and they like to learn. They are all confident expressing themselves to anyone. In high school, their teachers observed that unlike many shy teens they were not afraid to ask questions and advocate for themselves or for others. And, this has continued throughout their college and post-graduate years. Orchard invites and teaches children how to respectfully approach adults. At Orchard, education is not just about science, English, history, etc. While these are important, it's also about helping develop good people and preparing them for the future.

I give it an average star rating because these days is just a costly version of any typical, yet capable public school with the addition of arrogance in their approach.

Speedway Highschool was one of the sites hosting the first games for the Marion County Freshman…read moreTourney for 2022-2023. The school is easy to find and has ample amount of parking. Doors are labeled and easily visible. Cash only for admission, 6$ a person for entrance. I was told I had to walk upstairs to get into the main gym where the game was being played. I liked that I was able to walk down to the bleachers on the main floor for better viewing. I noticed that concessions were still being set up at that time. The game was early, at 9am, so I brought my coffee from home and I was able to bring it in with me so I opted out on concessions. Overall, the gym looks taken care of and it's decent size.

If i could give this school zero stars, I absolutely would. Coming from a students perspective,…read morethis school deprives students of a happy and healthy education. A high school experience should be fun and exciting. The work overload and constant pressure to succeed makes even waking up for school feel impossible. The assistant principal, Mr Day, constantly bullies and picks on students and targets them for absolutely no reason. Never would i have ever thought I would wake up and be crying most mornings because of the dread of just walking into the school. Us students constantly feel watched over for every little thing we do and we should absolutely not be feeling this way as kids. Please do your children a huge favor and never bring them here. Mr day has, on multiple occasions, illegally terrorized students causing three lawsuits against the school. I am so disappointed that my high school experience has been ruined by attending here. This does not feel like a public school, more like an extremely strict private school (or jail). I am so glad to finally be graduating and moving on to a school that will not leave me feeling this way.

And a lot of people are just drivers driving by, but they are in the mix with the cars pulling out of the school. It's absolutely insane, I tell you!! Lol I was sitting at the front waiting to pull out for 20+ minutes, because the traffic is hellacious. Don't get me wrong, we love our Garden City and this doesn't have anything to do with the school per say. It just isn't a great intersection. I hope one day, maybe one day, we can get with the program and take turns! Lol Who am I kidding?

I love the values-based curriculum and inclusive chapel time--where all faiths are truly celebrated; I've even attended Yom Kippur and Diwali services there. My active son enjoys P.E. three times a week, and my daughter thrives on the frequent, hands-on field trips. We're also excited about the unique French Exchange program offered in 5th grade Even Chef Andy's fresh, delicious lunches have inspired my picky eaters to try new foods! We couldn't be happier with our transition to St. Richard's. (One caveat: my children don't have special needs, I can't speak personally to the school's special education resources.)

Make sure you have $ too. The kids and parents who don't, are treated differently. Wolves in sheep clothing, lack of parental and child support and resources. Teaching our children is a calling and a privilege, not a back up plan. Their indifference is showing. My children loved learning, they no longer do. Watching their light disappear while they box themselves in survival mode as they enter the building is enough.

Our public schools have been educating kids who want to learn for decades and I don't think there is anything wrong with public schools. Delaware Trails Elementary is a great example of great public schools... and Brownsburg's school system overall is outstanding. This is what I remember about public schools: Kids that were happy and proud of their school; Teachers who care about their kids and cry when they move on to the next grade, even though their proud of 'em; Making friends on the bus; Joking about how bad lunch is even though it was fine; and First class education. Delaware Trails reminds me of everything I loved about my public school and even does things much better than my old public school could ever do. I am so glad I decided to send my child here to the school her neighbors attend. Only drawback, Brownsburg's schools are all in the city limits, so it is quite a drive from my unincorporated Hendricks County development. But for my daughter to have such a great public school experience, minor, very minor. Very happy with Delaware Trails Elementary Go Bulldogs!
