Northwood Elementary School

My kids just transferred to this school from another state. The teachers so far are very friendly and approachable. Both of my children's teachers send home communication sheets that clearly lay out what the children will be doing the following week. The afterschool "daycare" that is associated with the school is terrible. The women that work the program sit on their behinds and yell at the kids the whole time. Mine where there for a week and every day when I would drop them off and pick them up all the kids where sitting on a filthy floor watching movies that have fowl language in them. For snack the kids were fed doritos and told they have to go to the water fountain for drink. Both my children told me that the women that work there are very friendly to the grown ups and as soon as the parents would leave they yell at the kids with a bullhorn.

Worst school ever ! Actually pulled my child out of this school. Parents not even allowed to eat with child inside. If you choose to have lunch with your child you must eat outside. Parent conference was conducted with another parent included in my child’s evaluation and didn’t even know them. Asked about help for my child in math was told by teacher all the kids were doing bad in math so she was going to give them a easier test to bump up their grade

They were great at first, but then i started noticing they have different rules for different kids. they do not keep track of their financials either. There is no communication on what the kids are learning and school work in rarely sent home. They watch tv almost everyday. The desk are old cubicle computer desk so they have walls on each side to prevent interaction with peers. the children are not allowed to use the computers, even though the billboards say "APPLE COMPUTER LAB" The preschoolers have a playground, but once they get school age ( kindergarten and up) they are only allowed to play in the open field beside the school. The Elementary age kids aren't even allowed to have balls, they are to use their imagination only for outdoor play. I am very dissatisfied with this school. The director is very opinionated and she and her daughter are NEVER WRONG! They don't make time to talk to parents about concerns and don't return phone calls. The preschool teacher is amazing, but after that id suggest moving your child to a new school!

My son attended Montessori Childrens House in Crestview, Florida for Kindergarten and First Grade. Teachers were top notch and catered to each child's interest. My son joined public school in the second grade ahead of his public school peers and excelled through middle school and high school. He is Crestview's 2010 Valedictorian and has been accepted at Yale University in New Haven Connecticut with a full academic scholarship. Montessori got my son off to a great Start!

An Awesome School with a Memorable Experience.
