Harper Elementary School

We love Romona! Our kids are excited to go to school every day and the teachers and administration make it easy to communicate with them and know what’s happening at school. As someone who didn’t love going to school, I’m so happy to see my kids excited almost everyday to go learn.

During our time at the school, leadership changed frequently, including multiple principals, assistant principals, the Dean of Students, and many teachers. Students faced bullying that often went unaddressed, and as a parent, it seemed staff were discouraged from reporting problematic or concerning student behavior they observed in classrooms or on the playground.

North Shore Country Day has given me the best high school experience imaginable. With the small classroom sizes and close knit feel, I have been able to grow exponentially as both a student and person. With a heavy focus on public speaking in the classroom, I have grown increasingly comfortable to share my own thoughts out loud and have been challenged academically. Along with this, I have really thrived socially. The school fosters a super accepting culture and really the biggest problem is people can be too soft...I have loved my past four years and would not change my decision to come here. Trust, you will find your people you just have to be willing to speak to everyone.
