North Elementary School

We have had 3 of our children in this school since 2018. Each have had special education needs and the staff has worked very hard with each of them. I have nothing bad to say about any of the educators and support staff. They have always treated us warmly and been helpful. We drive our kids to school to give them a better education and to be in a more manageable student to teacher ratio. The only hang up or negative I have is not all of the teachers are good at responding to parent square messages and or emails. 90 percent of them do though. We really love the school and our kids have loved their teachers.

The language, behavior, and violence my kids are exposed to in the classroom is appalling and disgusting. I know some kids struggle with behavior, but my child is terrified of school. I'm all for inclusion in all forms, but not at the expense of my child's sense of security. The language and behavior my child has been exposed to is not acceptable under any circumstances.

This review is for PACE the after school program. As a parent I am appalled at the lack in proper management. The lead is unprofessional and uneducated to deal with parents. I had reached out several times regarding their lack in communication, the high school helpers are in highly inappropriate clothing, and when wrongs are brought up like none helping the kids with homework and just placing them in front of a TV, NOTHING was done. I had to remove my child for lack in supervision, professional communication, and the inadequacies in place. Not only would I not recommend this program but, I am looking into placing these complaints and concerns with a higher educational legal team.

The principle and certain staff talk down to parents and honestly act like they are above all. The lack of respect they give is humiliating and is immature. They have no concern for students. Instead of dealing and correcting issues they push them off and sweep them under the rug.

We have been very happy over the last seven years while we have had kids at North. We will be sad to move on!
