Northgate

Car lines at this school are horrible. I’ve almost been t-boned twice, both entering and exiting the school. My child is being bullied to the point of crying not wanting to go to school. I’ve spoken to the teachers, principal, assistant principal, resource officers etc and had plans in place to take action but they have failed to keep my son’s safe and comfortable. Inappropriate language written in bathroom stalls. A child with a vape trying to get other children to use it. Fighting at recess. Staff doesn’t pay attention (but would rather talk to each other or on phone) than to watch for any dangers or bullying over ANY CHILD that need to be more supervised especially when they have been told REPEATEDLY who he/she is ESPECIALLY!!! There’s no excuse for bullying even when I’ve tried and tried but they still don’t care about the kids that are in harms way. It’s just a job to them!!I would seek another school to send any child to than OAKLAND ELEMENTARY!!

My son has been at this school since January 2023. We have experience the the worst teacher interactions. There’s a huge lack of communication, they send home 1000 seasaw messages with all this info and call with this long drawn out recording from the principal. But the teachers directly, you have to beg to be informed. The have an unhealthy obsession with discipline. They lack a sense of urgency when it comes to students who struggle academically.
