My children have done well at Indian Queen ES. The vast majority of staff really care about the students, not just their test scores. It is a diverse environment that has an awesome counselor and caring educators. I teach at another 4 out of 5 star rated school and turned down the opportunity to transfer my children because I believe this school is superior overall for a public school Close Quote

This has been a breath of fresh air for me as a teacher! The school is like a family! The teachers work together to help all students to be successful! The students are great and the families are very supportive! In all the schools I have taught in, this is truly the place I want to be and plan to stay for a very long time! Close Quote
