Northampton Elementary School

Cool school,nice teachers overall, most students are kind.

Mi hija empezó el año pasado 2023 tenía 4 años y este año 2024 empezó kindergarden y he de decir una excelente escuela y excelente personal, como padres queremos nuestros hijos estén seguros y protegidos y esta escuela cumple muy bien.My daughter started last year 2023, she was 4 years old and this year 2024 she started kindergarten and I have to say an excellent school and excellent staff, as parents we want our children to be safe and protected and this school does very well.

As a parent, I am very disappointed in the school for various reasons such as: Teachers: the teachers here had a better start in the beginning of the school year but have failed to continue this work throughout the year. Starting off with the latin teacher. She needs to get in order, and learn how to teach instead of going off of a book. She has not changed since last year, and has held a grudge against the students since last year. As a parent, I am FURIOUS with this behavior since those bad students from last year have already left, and for the grades that she has not updated for 5 weeks. Homework: It is difficult and heartbreaking to watch my child break down every day after school because of the overwhelming amount of work they give the kiddos. This amount of homework has led to a loss of family time and in order to achieve the goals of the kids and of there accomplishments, family time is very important.Principle: The current principle Ms. Makel does NOT know what she is doing or how to run the school. She blames innocent students for stuff that should be discussed with the parents before dragging our kids into it. She takes things WAY TOO far and she needs to get her act together before she loses her job.Overall, this is NOT the place to send your kids to. We will not be returning next year because of these issues and the more that will most likely come. If I could give this 0 star reviews, I would.
