Can't really rate the instruction, because I don't have any kids old enough yet to attend (and it's…read morenot my school district anyway), but the school building is spotlessly clean, and the auditorium where my church, New Horizons, meets is top notch. The sound in the auditorium is excellent, the lighting is ample, and the seating capacity is somewhere in the neighborhood of 900! Not to many middle schools can boast the quality of the production facilities Northview has. So much so that they seem to be almost better than some high school's. There is a very large stage and modern curtain and backdrop system, a small orchestra pit, built in sound (well hidden speakers) and soundproofing in the walls and large backstage area and good lighting! Even when all the lights are down in the auditorium, you can still see your literature (Bible in my case.) The church utilizes a few classrooms for Children's Church and pre-service Bible study. The classrooms are what you expect, although smaller than the ones I remember in junior high. Each teacher has decorated his/her classroom with individual decor and flair. The building is laid out as an "X" shape with a one level design to the wings (where the classrooms are) and a two story middle area where the cafeteria and auditorium sit. Part of the flooring is the durable two part epoxy and flakes that seems to be all the rage now for it's vibrant lasting color and limitless design potential. It does take the building up a couple notches from standard school form. I'd love to hear more from a fellow Yelper about instruction here, but the facility here is fantastic.

Our family recently visited Northview on a spring Saturday during ISSMA (Indiana State School Music…read moreAssociation) orchestra competition. The school was very clean and was very well represented by the volunteers helping out during the event. One thing I always look for when attending these types of events is good signage, because that can make or break an event. If you're not familiar with a school, large or small, you need signs to get you where you need to be on time. The staff and volunteers did a wonderful job of making sure there were signs posted everywhere for visitors.

It is the perfect volunteer opportunity to work into a busy schedule - a set hour each week, with sites all over the city, and opportunities throughout the day and evening. They just moved to a new office at the United Way campus to be closer to more of their sites and to be accessible to the families they serve by being near the Red Line. Next time we have a committee meeting, I'll add photos of their beautiful new space!

School on Wheels is an amazing non-profit organization that provides tutoring to students in…read morehomeless shelters and battered women shelters. Often times these children are the lost children of the system. They fall through the cracks because their less then ideal home situation means constantly moving from one shelter home couch to another and thus constant interruption in their education. Sometimes parents are in a constant state of shock worried with other concerns like safety, food, utilities, that their kids education is the last concern on their mind. The volunteer tutors of School on Wheels become sometimes that one beacon of light for these kids. As a tutor we assist children in their homework and play games, we provide positive reinforcement. We let them talk and and we let them be kids in their often rocky world. Being a tutor requires little commitment but just an hour a day a week. There is so much flexibility to being a tutor. As a tutor for almost 3.5 years I learned so much about myself and the children gave back to me as much as I tried to give back to them.

She has a ton of fun and learns without realizing that is what she is doing. They have play based curriculum which is perfect for 4-5 year olds. The staff is fantastic and caring.

I would highly recommend the program.

My daughter started John Strange this year after spending her first three years in a Charter…read moreSchool. Her transition has been outstanding. This was a Grade A school when my sixteen year old went beginning her second grade year of school. The technology is top of the line. My youngest has only 22 students in her class, allowing individual interaction with each child. The teachers are incredible and love their job. Ms. Arduini, the Art teacher, is still there and recognized my oldest when we went to register her younger sister. The principal knows my daughter by name. There is diversity throughout the school and differences in culture are recognized. I just attended the awards ceremony to watch my daughter accept her award for Honor Roll and Citizenship (5 of out 5 for behavior). It was easy to get in, organized exclusively for the grade you were seeing and we were able to spend time and take pictures. As she got out of the car this morning for school, the principal said hello to her by name. Washington Township at its finest!

Can't say enough about how happy we have been with John Strange Elementary. My daughter has been…read morethere for 5 years now and this is my son's second year. We have had the most dedicated and wonderful teachers each year. The kids have been given the gift of passion to learn by this staff. They have a wonderful music teacher who puts her heart and soul into their arts programs. They put on some wonderful plays. The only complaints I have are across the board for all schools- lunch and recess are not long enough. I think it's important to focus on health a little more and i think encouraging kids to gobble down food and limiting exercise is part of the nationwide obesity problem. I think this school does the most with all the resources they have. I would love to see all schools and teachers have more money and tools to fix many of the problems that are faced in all of our schools.
