I love this school i love mr howe and mrs jordan they are literally the best. i like everything about it and the lunch taste really good.

Our family’s experience with Northwood Elementary over the past three years has been very challenging, largely due to terrible leadership and administration. My daughter, who has a disability, began kindergarten at Northwood in 2021 and immediately faced suspensions and disciplinary actions related to her disability-related behaviors. Instead of receiving supportive, individualized care, she was often isolated, physically restrained, and frequently left the campus without supervision.Despite repeated efforts to collaborate with school staff and leadership, we encountered a lack of transparency, accountability, and meaningful support. Communication was often dismissive, and concerns about my daughter’s safety and well-being were not adequately addressed. Unfortunately, false reports were made against my daughter and me, causing additional emotional distress and negatively impacting our family’s reputation.There was also substantiated harassment and bullying that my daughter experienced, which the school only acted upon after persistent advocacy. This contributed to a learning environment where she often did not feel safe or supported.I share this review in the hope that Northwood Elementary and the district address these serious leadership and administrative issues and work to create a more inclusive, trauma-informed, and supportive environment for all students—especially those with disabilities. Families deserve a school that listens, respects, and advocates for their children’s unique needs.

Absolutely terrible guidance and lack of accountability
