The Wilson Family absolutely love #34. Its like a big family. The teachers are friendly and the staff is very welcoming. They are so eager to assist your family however needed and teach your children to their best ability.

I loved this school it was one of the reason's why my childhood was so bright. I enjoyed every year all the way up to sixth grade. I first started in the older building which then got knocked down and rebuilt. I remember graduating the sixth grade thinking only six more year's until high school graduation. So here I am today at nineteen year's old a year after graduating high school and I will be attending college at IUPUI. Life is so beautiful and my amazing elementary school will never be forgotten !

At Eleanor Skillen School the staff cares greatly about their students. They work to provide as many experiences and as much opportunity as possible while staying within an inappropriately tight budget. They have a media specialist (librarian) only once a month, but the children love reading. All of the grades look forward to when they get to read to the therapy dogs that visit weekly. Other volunteer support the school as well, stepping in where working parents are not able to. It is a school that cares and provides a wonderful warm, family environment to all of the kids. While the area that is served by IPS #34 is very low-income, the kids are bright and respectful and the teachers are equally warm and caring. There is lots of support from intervention staff and outside volunteers, bringing otherwise unavailable experiences to the kids. I think this is a great school.
