This means that children are academically challenged, but are also presented with opportunities to experience a broader educational foundation. The Art Docent Program is one of the best I've seen , the PE program is unique in this area, and teachers are always trying to find ways to make all learning interactive and meaningful. This school aims to instill a love of learning and a compassionate social awareness that I believe is the hope of all parents and teachers. Read less

My older daughter used to go to North Broadway before they re-lined and moved the boundaries and it was so much better then. Now it seems that the teachers are having issues with staying on track with the kids, since there are many that are ESL students. The parking situation stinks, and if you don't

There are a few teachers are excellent and other just want to hurry up with the day but, the Principal, Ms Campbell, is horriable.

North Broadway is a great school! We are pleased with the education that our children have had and will have.

My daughter will be starting her second year at N. Broadway this fall. Overall my husband and I are greatly impressed with the special education program for Autistic children here at N. Broadway. My daughter is able to participate in both a special day class that offers individual attention and a regular
... Read more class where she can interact with other kids. The school does a lot to raise awareness about Autism and special education student among its general education pupils. The teachers and support staff (aides, speech therapy, P.T.) I have met are really dedicated and caring. The other school staff seems to be good overall. The P.T.A. is active and often has monthly events. The only downsides are 1) that there are almost no extracurricular activities, sports, or music programs and 2) the parking lot is very small so usually you must park a block away to pick up your child during peak hours.

My children are on their 3rd year at North Broadway we have been fortunate to have some of the better teachers there. The principal needs to learn tolerance in an intolerant world and know that these are just kids learning and will make mistakes.They do tend to make you feel like an outsider at times.

The teachers and principal are wonderful. My daughter loves it there. If anyone really feels it is clickish, they obviously haven't tried to get involved. Everyone must remember that the school has a budget to which they must abide. It hardly covers what is purchased by the district for the classrooms.
... Read more Teacher put a lot of personal funds into their rooms; anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars worth. New teachers spend the most. None of this is acknowledged by the parents. In fact when they steal a book from the classroom, with the teachers name inside; these parents take no notice. It still comes down to: if you aren't a part of the solution, then you are a part of the problem. To paraphrase John Kennedy' Ask not what your school can do for you. Ask what you can do for your school. Get involved, you'll love it. Read less

I feel they offer high quality academic programs considering the school district. This is my daughter's first year at the school starting in 1st grade. So far, I haven't seen the quality or quantity of extracurricular activities that we enjoyed at my daughter's school in San Marcos for Kindergarten.
... Read more My biggest complaint is the 'cliquish' environment of parents and principal. If you are new to the school and want to be involved, but may be a bit shy, you can actually be made to feel left out and unwanted. I expressed my enthusiasm to the best of my ability and it was rejected. Considering their PTA sign-ups totaled little more than 100 with enrollment over 600, it's really sad that they feel comfortable leaving out those who want to help. Read less
