North High School

We love black. My daughter had anxiety and they have done so much to help her. We love the office staff that makes us feel happy every morning and all the great supportive teachers. The only downside to this school is the drop off/ pick up situation, it is horrid.

My child just started this school and has special needs..When I enrolled my child I let the school know of her diagnosis and that she may have a hard time adjusting and may have outbursts.. When my child gets scared upon arrival at school in the morning the staff are really rude and have threatened to call srs on me cause of my child not wanting to attend school due to fear of large class rooms and loud noises.. I am very unhappy with this school and hope I can remove my child from it..These people are a Joke and need to do there jobs.

Franklin is a family. They love their students

McLean is a highly achieved elementary school ranked in the top 5 STEM magnet schools in the state. In recent years, students have consistently obtained scores above State Assessment averages within categories such as Math, Reading, and Science. Nearly 95% of students score at or above “proficient” on their State Science Assessments significantly outperforming state averages. This is all the more impressive when considering the fact that a significant number of the school’s population comes from low income backgrounds. McLean boasts numerous award winning teachers who are beyond dedicated to the profession and the students they serve. As a teacher of college credit science courses myself, I find that a high proportion of my top performing students attended McLean. It has been a joy to see my own children thrive at this school. As a parent and educator, it is a joy to know that my kids are being given a world class education at McLean that will eventually allow them to compete at the highest of academic levels elsewhere.

I was nervous enrolling my children in this school due to the low test scores and what others said. I was wrong to worry!! My Kindergartener and First Grader have excelled during their time there. The teachers are wonderful. They are very patient with my over active little ones, and are always available to answer questions. There are so many activities that we as a family don't have time to participate in all of them. My children are in latchkey, and most of the time they beg me to stay when I pick them up. I am very impressed by the communication from the school in regards to my children. The only negatives I have are that they only have 1 recess, which doesn't seem like enough time for kids to be kids; and that the Parentlink has been down all year so I am unable to keep track of the children's progress without bothering the school (which they deal with well.) Overall very happy with this school.
