I like the teachers at this school but I hate everyone else there, they like to make u feel bad about ur self, it is one of the worst schools I have ever sent my kids to, there is a lot of bullying they do nothing about it just moves ur kid to another chair in the class and that is it.kids are not safe here at all with bullying.

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.
