Do not send your Black or Latino student here. Great school district, but they do not want any brown kids who are Latino or Black there. The worst offender was a black faculty member. It covers even athletics. Very sad their motto is "where everyone belongs" , but not for African American or Latino students. I unfortunately have sent 2 there over the past 10 years and it's the same story every time. The only positive experience I can give my child from this is the real world exposure to racism and how to be great in spite of it. Shame on all of you

As a parent/alum parent of the school, I’ve had an overall positive experience with the campus and the quality of the environment it provides for students. However, I do feel compelled to share a concern regarding the approach taken by the school’s security team.While I fully support and appreciate the importance of maintaining a safe and secure campus, the level of monitoring can feel excessive at times. There have been instances where students are closely followed, repeatedly questioned about their whereabouts, and even redirected in situations that don’t seem to warrant it. For example, my child was waiting in the upstairs lounge for pickup around 2:40 p.m. and was instructed to move downstairs, despite staff and faculty still being present in the building until later in the afternoon. Situations like this can feel unnecessarily restrictive and, at times, intrusive.In speaking with other parents and alumni families, I’ve found that these concerns are not isolated. There appears to be a shared sentiment that the current security practices, while well-intentioned, may benefit from a more balanced approach that ensures safety without compromising students’ sense of comfort and autonomy.Aside from this concern, I believe the school offers a strong overall experience, and this is the primary area where I feel improvement could be made.

North Hill Elementary is the best elementary in this area.
