North Division High School

My experience at this school is an exceptional one. I really enjoy watching my children learn and develop educational concepts that will follow them for life. The staff is full of integrity and kindness. I would recommend all parents to enroll their children here, especially if they are looking for safety and appropriate, effective learning strategies for their children. Simply awesome!!!

just nowThis school has a excellent staff a awesome principal. There is so much love and care for children. My child has autism and couldn't speak or have a verbal response with. They taught her how to talk and proper talk at that. She can read and write and write with her left hand she is left handed. She can hold a conversation with me and express herself emotionally and physically. She can walk with better awareness. She can remember so many things and can be taught anything. She didn't even want to go back to school from a previous school incident. Now she has been going to Brown street academy for 5 years now and is still advancing. This school deserves an award.

The school does not do anything when their kids on their busses are disrespectful to others properties and kids. These kids have thrown garbage, markers, Gatorade bottle half full and their mouths are even worse. I’ve called the school as well as riteway bus company and no one has done anything. A 14 year old boy came off the bus today in a aggressive way as if he was trying to fight with me and his aunt has a son on the bus who’s stop this was and he was not supposed to get off. Tried to confront me about what he did and said and I let him know I have a camera that shows everything with sound. So I have all the proof I need plus witnesses and today my neighbors and I recorded todays incident and now I had to call the police because I was advised to do so.

My child has been at St. Marcus since K5, during this time I had very little concerns and felt that my child was developing. Now that we have reached middle school, the atmosphere has changes. The teachers have no relationships with the students and there disciplinary policy is terrible. Your child is not allowed to go to the bathroom without getting a demerit. If your child doesn't have a pencil they get a demerit. Children are not allowed to make up missing assignments. They put to much pressure on 5th graders to be adults. The teachers will not remind a child to retake a test or a quiz if they got a bellow average grade. They are firm in stating that they are teaching the children accountability when in fact they don't practice what they preach. The teachers are cold it isn't a friendly environment.
