this school is probably one of the worst schools ive ever had my kids in. They do not care about your needs, and they do not care about bullying no matter how severe it gets, you'll get lunch detention even if you were excused the days you were absent, and they just act like they hate you in general. They do not care about your mental health, they only care about your performance. They do not accommodate to anything kids might need to learn properly. My child needed a plushie to focus and they told her to put it away or they would take it after I sent her with a note saying she needs it and it can stay on the floor as long as she can feel it next to her. The staff are utterly rude, the students are somehow worse, I would never recommend this school to anyone. It deserves to be shut down. Not to mention, its dirty.

They WORST school in Washington State. Would never recommend them to my worst enemy. "90% of the Staff should be sacked an they should start fresh." My Opinion.

My children have attended Northlake since they started going to school this last year.We decided not to have them attend school while COVID was a huge thing. This was a personal decision, and on the one hand, our children were met with real challenges in terms of "making up" for that lost time, which were a couple of years, both socially and academically.We chose Northlake because it was a relatively smaller school, and when we went to meet the administrators and some of the teachers, they all seemed to enjoy their jobs, and the school itself.We were not disappointed.Our children, who have had no "real" formal education, have flourished in Northlake. Our oldest needed some speical assistance, and was met with nothing but a "can-do" attitude. Since they have started public school, they have learned tons of practical skills and general knowledge. They have learned to read, and do mathematics, and while we assist them at home with these skills, it is their daily school experinces which have lent themselves to their flourishing. We couldnt be happier.There were also some issues with bullying and social awareness issues, like any school, and when we addressed the situation, we had nothing but consistent help from the educators and those in charge or recess or social engagements. While bullying is a serious concern for most parents, I will say that if there is an issue, if it's taken up with the school and the time is dedicated to remedying the situation with openness and working together, I believe it would be a seldom experience that the issue would not be remedied.Unfortunately, not exery child will have the same experiences, but I believe wholeheartedly that this is the best school for my children, and I would recommend Northlake to anyone. We have never met more diligent and heartfelt staff in our lives. We dont worry about our children attending this school, nor the possibility of them being ignored or left behind, regardless od their needs, be they special or not.We are incredibly grateful for everyone at Northlake, and we owe them far more than we could ever repay.Easily the best school we could think of, for our children attending.The caveat is our children enjoy their school, too. Nothing is worth more than that.Thank you, Northlake: all staff and administration.
