Hopkins North Junior High School

We are in the process of pulling all three of our children out of Alice Smith (after loving the school under Mrs. D). Our experience with the new principal and leadership has been horrible and incredibly disappointing. We are so sad to have experienced how much things have changed. Special education students in particular will not have their needs met. Raising our concerns a multitude of times with leadership was met with apathy and/or avoidance.

Attending Tangle has been an incredibly enriching experience for my son. The faculty is dedicated and genuinely invested in student success, creating a supportive and inspiring learning environment. The curriculum is well-structured, ensuring students are both challenged and prepared for their future. Beyond academics, the school fosters a strong sense of community with diverse extracurricular activities that help students grow beyond the classroom. I highly recommend Tanglen to anyone looking for a well-rounded education. Special kudos to Principal Dr. Jim Hebeisen .

We love Eisenhower and we are so glad it is our neighborhood school. Our children are in Juntos Spanish immersion and the teachers are nothing but absolutely wonderful. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the children. As someone who has worked in urban school districts, I feel a lot can be said about about the happiness of teachers, and the teachers seem genuinely glad to be there which indicates a well-run and supportive school. This is passed on the to students. The education is very well rounded and they emphasize SEL. We have had a wonderful experience!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Good Shepherd School. From the moment we joined the community, we felt an incredible sense of belonging. The staff and families are warm, welcoming, and truly supportive of one another. The academics are outstanding—challenging yet nurturing—and we’ve seen our child grow in confidence, curiosity, and character. It’s a place where kids are not only taught well but loved well. We’re so grateful to be part of a school that feels like family and provides such a strong foundation for our child to thrive.
