I do not recommend this school one bit. To all the parents wanting to send their children here, listen to this. This school is great for learning their culture, such as Oneida, Ojibwe, Menominee, or any others. This school does NOT AT ALL DEAL WITH BULLYING, from many experiences and seeing others getting bullied. This school is the worst for discipline. This school will write you up for leaving a classroom for an emergency. But this school will not write you up for MULTIPLE BULLYING SITUATIONS. I’ve seen the behind the scenes of this system, and this school is opposite, than what this school should actually be. I am too upset, with this school handling the things, the way they do. They will not punish for kids getting pushed, slurs said to them, nor any type of bullying. All the teachers have a favorite student, that they will make them past the class, NOT MEETING THE GUIDELINES/RUBRICS. But will fail the kid, that meets the rubric, and tries their best. Will pass the kid that doesn’t know what he’s doing most of the time, gets an A+. While the girl that is exceeding the rubrics has a B+. I’ve been in the situation, where kids spit in my food. The teachers doing nothing about it, after I’ve brought it up multiple times to all of the teachers. When kids are making the other children not eat, or regurgitating their food. Is when it becomes a problem, which isn’t at all dealt with. So again, only send your child here, if you teach them to stand up for themselves, be prepared to possibly be favored over(not equal), and be prepared to most likely be bullied. I will say this for the rest of my existence, and no child deserves to be treated poorly, as they are not good enough.

3 it is a beautiful building with outstanding teachers and opportunities, but it is not handled in the best way and administration lacks a leadership role. If you are not friends or in the inner circle of the principal you are seen as a weakling. Until the administration changes, there will be no change in the building or accountability.

This school is the best I have seen. I was an educator for years and I drive my daughter to the school each day 36 minutes away from our house each way so she can attend ICS. The teachers, staff, and building/grounds are nothing short of amazing. We are so grateful for this school!

My son attended K4 here for the 2014 -2015 school year. He also attended the program play group for kids to attend before school for play. Almost all the kids were sent to the other teacher. Then he was given a new teacher which also made me feel a but upset because I knew nothing about her, But then I met Mrs Davis. Because of her, our experience was wonderful. Besides having the best teacher a kid can ask for, i love how they have incorporated the Native American culture into their curriculum. The teach some languages, music & drum, teach stories, and they also have a awesome story for the architecture of the building.

i am a former student of this school and i was physically assaulted almost everyday in middle school by other students in my grade and higher grades. the teachers just look the other way. this school is a horrible environment. you might as well just send your children to public schools.

The "anti-bullying campaign" has only escalated the bullying and victimization, teaching kids new ways to bully. It's true there is a COMPLETE LACK OF ENFORCEMENT. This may be due to the fact these bullies use passive-aggressive tactics that are difficult to detect. Parents are not as invloved this year as compared to last year. Don't know enough about Common Core cirriculum yet, but hope the smart kids are not dragged down by the underperformers. Glad they still have art, music, gym, culture, language and after school activities. so far most things seem good.

We love the school, and the teachers, the lack of enforcement of the policy against Bullies is not acceptable. Administrators, Wake Up! You will end up with a student body full of bullies and any child with potential will be forced to leave because not enough action is being taken to stop the bullies. You will lose the ability to teach and carry on the heritage of each tribe. The ones that care the mose will be forced to leave.
