Teachers are extremely supportive at the school and I love the zero tolerance bullying culture.

I really like this school, they did wonders for my special needs kid but my other general ed kid is on her 3rd year of being bullied and nothing has been done.

We've loved Ideal for the years that my son has been in school. He's thriving in school and is performing well. I hate to see this school receive such bad scores since many of the children who attend are ESL. We love that the school is so diverse (one of the most diverse in the area) and we love that our son has been able to pick up some Spanish as a result.

This is a small school with good teachers and enthusiastic principal. PTO does a great job of putting together events for the kids throughout the year. My kids have grown and learned here and never had to worry about anything other than getting good grades. My personal overall opinion ... Great school part of a great school district.

I am very thankful that we have brought our two children to Ideal School. I went to this school many, many years ago and the school, teachers, staff, Principal and School Board are so much more involved, caring and helpful with all children. I have read some of the other posts and frankly find them incorrect. There is so many good things happening there since Principal Bahn has come on board. If you or your child has an issue, call him, he'll pick up the phone and find out what is going on.

Ordeal School is a better name for this institution. Unfortunately, it's practice is far behind its public relations rhetoric. I am a former parent there as well as a former teacher. I witnessed first hand that their approach to Inclusion was ineffectual and untenable. I write this because I want to save families and teacher candidates from being lured in by their glossy advertising campaign--as I had been.

I love that my child is in this school. The school is great & they have helped me is so many ways. From the very 1st day we moved into Countryside the school opened their arms to my children & welcomed us with a smile. I LOVE IDEAL SCHOOL

Im not sure if my last letter made it through but my name is steven smith and I started in sept of 1960 with miss Good and finished in 1966 then went on to Gurrie then to LT anddid my duty in the Marines for four years. I went on to six more years after the service and I will always remember Ideal in my heart more than any other school. My class mates were all like family and I would sure like to hear from any of them. I hope you are all doing well and please stay off your cell phones when your driving because 5 years ago I was hit head on by a person playing with there phone. Hospital bills were well over a million but im getting better. Please drop a line if you Fruse and I dont remember 6th. But any way Ideal was the best!1!!
