Our experience at this school was deeply disappointing. My son experienced what felt less like discipline and more like teachers using their authority in ways that were intimidating and unfair. Every child deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported at school. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here.

I have a sophomore and an incoming freshman. There are plenty of choices for their courses and extra-curricular activities and the culture of the students are mature and hard working. There are some very high caliber teachers embedded in the school with a long history of commitment to teaching, including the principal. As long as your child comes in with a great attitude, there will be plenty of opportunities to thrive whether it’s academically or exploring and pursuing their interests.

I am grateful for this full inclusion school. I think it's really important for my kid to be with everyone in their community without segregating kids with disabilities elsewhere so that everyone thrives together. I know a lot of naysayers worry about resources or it driving down academic performance, but with being full inclusion Ruby Bridges also consistently outperforms other schools academically. I also think it's really important we don't segregate hi-cap kids from their peers even if they need different academics at different points in the day because it fosters connection and empathy for those different than them.Thank you for all the staff and leadership that makes this wonderful community possible. Hopefully the rest of Northshore will more to desegregate their other schools as well so everyone can benefit.
