What people are saying
by a parent
Saturday, May 19, 2012

Open Quote We moved to Zionsville when our daughter was in fourth grade. She came to ZCS as "an average student" (according to her previous guidance counselor) with an IEP. As parents, we knew her potential was much greater than this. With extraordinary teachers, experiential curriculum, and strong visual and performing arts programs, she flourished. Now that she is at the high school, I am proud to say that she is in her second year of straight A's (with Honors classes), has competed on an academic team that has gone to a Global competition - twice, and is socially more stable than we ever believed possible.

The teachers and administrators in Zionsville Community Schools are extraordinary. Yes, our daughter has worked hard for this change and we provided her with an environment at home that I hoped helped her to succeed. If it were not for the caring, individual attention provided by her teachers that challenge her every day, she would not be the caliber of student she has become. As a family, we are thankful for what Zionsville Community High School has provided - a public school than provides a better-than-private-school education. Close Quote
