My children are now in 6th grade and there is no doubt that Jerry Ross prepared them for what to expect going into middle school...

Our experience with Jerry Ross Elementary has always been positive. From interactions with the teachers and staff, to the opportunities for our child to be involved in clubs and activities and the school spirit you can clearly see, we could not be happier. Our child has flourished academically and socially. His teachers have always had his best interest in mind and work with us to make sure he is reaching his goals. I love the way the school is set up and organized and I feel as though he will be well prepared for his future. He's definitely making lasting memories and his teachers are a big part of that.

While the standards of the school are above the state requirements I feel that they are only teaching for tests. This is a 3rd through 5th grade school. Not high school. They put way to much pressure on the kids. My child shouldn't hate school at 9 years old. The teachers could also be more personable when you're at the school. Also why aren't you able to volunteer? Do the teachers not want parents in the classroom? Does Mrs. Stolarz not want us in the school? When my child was at Winfield I helped in the classroom every week. I've never heard of a teacher not wanting help! The school is clean the custodial staff does an amazing job! Their is also plenty of clubs for the kids to choose from. The music teacher does an excellent job with her music programs!

Jerry Ross is a phenomenal school. The curriculum has to be above and beyond. I love the principle here She's very personable and she know the kids by name. I give this school 5 golden stars.

I teach an extracurricular, after-school class for students at this school as I do for other schools throughout northwest Indiana and I can always tell in about two minutes just how dedicated the day-long teachers are to teaching and maintaining appropriate discipline in their school ... This is a school that plainly has a dedicated and consistent day-long teaching staff as well as administrators who expect the best in their teachers and their students (as well as the custodial staff since the school is spic-and-span whenever I am there) ... the students are respectful and adhere to instruction from me quite willing ... they are enthusiastic and interested and while the subject i teach can be a bit tedious at times, they give their best effort ... as with any group of students who just finished a day of school and are ready to explode into their after-school lives, they do on occasion have an extra energy that needs to be reigned in but it doesn't require more than a simple reminder from me and they are back on task This is obviously a well-run school with educators who care and give their best to their profession, their students, and their school.
