Parchment North Elementary School

This is my second time around with children in Parchment, my oldest son graduated from here but my daughter graduated from Plainwell. She did not have a very good experience in Parchment Schools. my younger children have always been in Plainwell schools until 2 yrs ago and I want them back in Plainwell schools.

I have two kids that both qualified for Early Childhood Special Education and attended this school. I cannot speak highly enough of the teachers and principle here! They always keep me informed of what is happening and want my input as well. My kids have both progressed enormously and they also love going to school here. Every teacher, parent, and student I've worked with in relation to this school has been amazing. It is a wonderful school and community and I'm so grateful to have my kids attending this school system!

It’s bad I really never write reviews but this school is just bad I see young girls with boyfriends already but they are just kids in elementary school and they say mean things like swearing a lot and the teachers don’t even say anything and kids fighting with other classmates starting drama .

My two kids attend Northglade Montessori Magnet School and it is amazing. Northglade is revolutionary because it offers a Montessori quality education to an at-risk population.The Montessori theory is holistic: It addresses the student's entire person, rather than just the academic aspect. Northglade students are not just studying traditional subject areas, but they are also learning responsibility, manners, grace, and courtesy. Northglade students learn how to make proper introductions, look people in the eyes during a conversation, and set their places at the table. Northglade students learn to communicate effectively and resolve conflicts peacefully. These skills are not generally taught in traditional schools, but are invaluable tools that will benefit Northglade students as they build their lives and careers. Northglade Rocks!

This school needs help. The teachers try their best but the lack of parent involvement and the home life of many of the students makes learning impossible.
