This school was good 8 years ago but now is substandard. I moved out of the district to seek better Public School options for my children. The teachers appear to be on auto pilot and do not really care about the students education. The school counselors do not care either. For all the funding this school district gets from property taxes. They can do better but just dont care/ Pathetic really.

My child is entering the third year this year at North Oaks. We did not have high expectations as "Great Schools" had it ranked pretty low. Regarding the teachers, many of them have done a good job, but a couple have seem to brought their politics in the door and even champion their sexuality. It's none of my child's business which team their teachers bat for. Last year, there was a very short event with bullying. Their had it on tape and the perpetrator was dealt with. My child gets along with almost everyone, but there seems to be a common thread that minorities can't be racist. The irony is, that at this school, my child is a minority. It hasn't caused any direct issues though. My child has struggled with asking for help from teachers which has made progress slower than we would like, but has excelled in other areas. Overall I would recommend this school, because I believe the base of teachers care. Never met the principal, which is odd. I have met all the others for all of our kid's schools. Not much direct teacher engagement when our child is behind on work or has failing grades. A couple teachers reach out, but most don't. Perhaps a lazy work ethic.

Spicer Elementary is an excellent school with outstanding educators! Mrs. Waddell is an outstanding principal!
