North Middle School

Would never send my children here again. Child was assaulted daily until we took her out and they chalked it up to bullying they didn't want to deal with. If anyone asks me, I'd tell them to never let their kids go here. A lot of undisciplined Parkdale kids in here.

An absolutely outstanding school. It was great before it changed into the CORE school and now it’s amazing. We feel so great about sending our child here and recommend it to anyone with elementary school age kids. Everyone there is happy to be there. The most positive, supportive environment you could ever hope for.

My child loves his school and is doing very well academically. Wonderful principal.

Ty Moore has done an amazing job taking over as principal, the teachers are outstanding and could not be more caring and supportive of the students.

Whittier Elementary is one of those rare schools where you can feel the heart of the community the moment you walk through the doors. The staff shows an incredible level of dedication, not just to academics but to the whole child; confidence, curiosity, and kindness are nurtured every day. Teachers go above and beyond to make learning engaging and meaningful, and you can tell they truly know and care about each student as an individual.The school culture is welcoming, supportive, and full of positive energy. Families are treated as partners, communication is strong, and there’s a real sense that everyone is working together to help kids thrive. Whether it’s the thoughtful leadership, the creative classroom environments, or the way students are encouraged to grow socially and emotionally, Whittier consistently shines.It’s a place where kids feel safe, valued, and excited to learn, exactly what an elementary school should be.
