Read what parents are saying about Northwood Elementary SchoolWe have a second grader and a kindergartner at Northwood. Our second grader's teacher in particular has been excellent at working with my child to help her and us address potential learning obstacles. Her approach has been very knowing and thoughtful but what really stands out is how much she cares about helping our child. We are very happy with our kindergarten teacher (who was also our older child's teacher that year) and the principal seems to be running things very smoothly. Art, music, and gym have been favorites of our kids so things are good there but we would love to see more teacher time made available. The PTA is very involved and when we volunteered for the Science Fair we found it to be very well run. The parents we've run into seem to care about the kids getting a good education but do so without the attitudes that might occur in a private school or a public school in a very high income neighborhood.
Posted by a parent on 3/30/2018If your child is not learning as fast as the others, you as a parents are always doing work he was supposed to do at school on weekends. School needs to provide more help and resources for students with learning difficulties.
Posted by a parent on 1/23/2018Considering the tax revenue of Royal Oak, this school should be on par with the top 20 elementary schools in the state, and it is no where near that with regards to preparing students for the technological global environment. They don't have a full-time degreed librarian on staff either--due to budget constraints.
Posted by a parent on 9/12/2017This is our 3rd year at Northwood and faculty and PTA is top notch.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter graduated from Rogers in 2017, having attended since kindergarten. The only improvement I could see was to update the aging facility, which they did in 2018. The staff, administrators, parents and kids are top-notch. Berkley is what other communities aspire to be, and this school is a shining example of that.Parent Review4y ago - Lessenger Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIn my opinion Lessenger is one of the best schools. I went here and had the time of my life! They have a great education program and all of the staff is so loving. Lessenger has so many opportunities for a great future. They will get you ready for 6th grade when you're ready to leave, and have fun ways to learn, along with fundraisers and many ways to shine! I 100% recommend this school.Parent Review1y ago - Keller Elementary

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageKeller Elementary is an excellent, community-based school and we're so glad we decided to send our son there. Our son just finished Kindergarten and is thriving at Keller. His kindergarten teacher was enthusiastic, organized, and incredibly skilled at getting the kids excited about learning. The PTA community is very active and there are frequent school events. I like the International Baccalaureate curriculum because it teaches leadership and character in addition to academics. I would recommend Keller Elementary without hesitation.Parent Review10mo ago - Addams Elementary
