Horrid. I got my kids out as soon as I could.

We had a very positive experience at this school. Families get to know one another and the teachers due to warmth and welcoming. It can be tough to be new because of this, but if you are open to getting to know people, you, too, will find yourself part of a caring community. It's important to recognize that the school is great due to the fun things kids do there--and to see the environment more than worrying about test scores. Schools are so much more than that.

OK so far. Noticed growing elements of discrimination and unfairness.

Both of our children have gone to Childs, and we have been thrilled. It's a warm, caring environment, and they received an excellent education. The principal and teachers truly care about the students, and it creates a very comfortable learning environment.

Child's Elementary is one of those rare schools that is able to maintain a family friendly place while being a number one rated scholastic school. The teachers are top rate and truly care about the kids and their growth.

Warm and caring school with very effective teaching. The neighborhood feel and walking area to school and surrounding parks is a dream. Teachers and administration are closely connected to the students and truly care about individual success.

Our kids attended Childs. There is nothing special about Childs. Some great teachers, some atrocious teachers. It consistently gets high marks because it is in the highest socioeconomic area of Bloomington. Give this principal and group of teachers a lower ses group of students and you'd have a failing school. Plain and simple.
