5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is an unsafe environment and does not support mental health that much. The teachers would often get mad and yell at kids for saying the liked the same gender or did not like any gender, they would yell at them if a kid said they were trans or the kid said they wanted to be the opposite gender. For special education most of the teachers would often miss treat the students such as yelling at them when they did nothing wrong or forcing them to do things they did not have to do. As for safety the teachers would allow kids to choke each other out, They would allow them to do dangerous things that would get the kids hurt badly. The teaching is overall not bad though but they dont really make it so they kids would understand. I overall dont recommend this school.Other Review1y ago - North Elementary School
