Southeast El School

This school has done great works on my child because she is now one of the top highest students because this school cares about my child's care being and academic standards.

Northwest gets a bad rap due to testing scores. With “no student left behind” policies across the United States, I feel that elementary schools with a majority of language and learning barriers, don’t have the flexibility to give the children who require the time and attention they really deserve to help them get ahead. To me, not allowing student to be split into classes where students at the same level are taught together, creates such a difficult and confusing learning environment. (God bless all teachers in the US who have risen to the challenges in this day and age). Northwest however, does everything they can to give ALL students a fair chance. Teachers and staff at Northwest are encouraging, attentive, experienced and in my opinion, go above and beyond for the students in every grade here. Being a somewhat small school compared to others, there is a real family atmosphere here and an “everyone knows everyone” kind of feeling. Students don’t get lost in the shuffle. Northwest’s specialized programs for students who need extra assistance do their best to help and encourage them to help them get ahead. If families and students are willing to put forth the effort, it makes for a great experience at Northwest! Don’t just look at the numbers.

I had a horrific experience here, as did my three other siblings. The best thing my parents did for me was pulling me out of this school and putting me in Cedar Crest. At least there diversity is acceptable.
