Norwood Elementary School

I had a good time while at this school, but I am happy to be leaving it behind. The students and faculty are nice and welcoming. The sports are well funded. The school is clean. The teachers are supportive for the most part. I do have a few complaints about this school. First off the education is bland and homogeneous. West Jefferson’s education system only gives you the basics. Students deserve to have more opportunities to succeed and that comes with a better education. Secondly, west Jefferson focuses on sports too much. Almost all the kids are enrolled in a sport, which is good, except when it takes away from their academic success. Once the students get up to high-school they begin to focus less on their academics and more on their sports. This problem is partly the parents and child’s fault but more of the schools fault. They need to focus less on sports and more on education, because, well they are a school. And lastly the diversity is terrible. There are hardly any minorities. This isn’t the schools fault, but if you want your kid to go somewhere more diverse then don’t send them here. Kids also say slurs daily.
