This School has some Outstanding teachers, but the Resource Programs and the way they are handled is a different matter. The whole Resource Team is like a revolving door at this school and makes it very difficult for communication and educational needs to be meet of the children.

The principal needs to take control and NOT let the office staff run the school. He is suppose to be there for a reason and the person in control...though that is not how the school is. He has no say in what is happening and going on in the school.

The quality of academics at this school are great. However very worksheet oriented. Music, art, sport programs are limited. They do have afterschool clubs that are worth looking into.

North Gate is a weak spot. Please note the Prinicipal's leadership is lacking severly. VP makes up for it in spades. Recess has been broken down to the kids roaming the play ground. Tag, and other organized sports is limited. A petition by students to allow soccer, football and tag is in the works. The kids are trying to reclaim recess! Hope this helps. Read less
