My child has attended North Beach for 6 years and I can say that this is an EXCELLENT school! The teachers are committed to their students development and students are regularly recognized for their accomplishments building their sense of confidence and joy of learning. Projects and assignments are developed to help stretch children's thinking. Many comments on this site about this being a public school run like a private school. I would agree and am very thankful for that! The workload on students is high with homework almost every night, but the kids get used to the workload and it prepares them for everything that comes next. If you're a parent that doesn't believe homework is important, then this is NOT the school for you. Also, many comments disparaging the "rich yoga moms". To be clear, these moms donate their time and resources to make NBE a terrific elementary school for all. Specifically, they play an active role in helping to organize classroom events, they help fund incremental teachers for those that need more support and they volunteer to support the school whenever needed. Overall, an outstanding school in a terrific community filled with caring families.

Absolutely horrible school. My son went for 2 years (6-7th) and he tells me that he was verbally abused almost every other day. Would NOT recommend. The academics are subpar at best.

I just graduated from this school two days ago and I have to say it’s absolutely horrendous. This school does a really great job of clipping students wings and not allowing them to express themselves. The administration is too caught up in how much funding they get then paying attention to a student’s mental health, it’s honestly disappointing. The one highlight of this school is the amazing teachers, but other than that the place is a dump. Disgusting bathrooms, deteriorated interior, and just overall terrible people running it. The one thing that pushed me over the edge was the activities director. The day of graduation I arrived with a custom stole made by my sister with various clubs and my college I was going to. I walked in and the activities director snatched it off my shoulders and said “this comes with me”. When I asked for it back to just give to my parents she said no. I got no explanation as to why it was snatched and it baffles me because no where in the handbook was it stated a student can’t wear a stole. I arrived two days later where I was told it would be along with my diploma and instead I was told “it’s at my house”. Why is my stole in your house? And more importantly why is the inconvenience to me when you’re the person who didn’t put it in the handbook? It’s honestly just so frustrating because these people treat you like children even after you are an adult and graduated from their school. I would recommend any other school but this place, again it is a horrible place to send a student that wants to be expressive or even just themselves. I will not miss it.
