Northside Elementary School

The school handled my child’s health concern very poorly. An office assistant posing as a nurse minimized her symptoms, communication was confusing, and pickup procedures were disorganized and dismissive. When I raised the issue with the principal, she was defensive and showed no empathy. This experience left me questioning both the school’s professionalism and concern for student safety.

This is by far their strong point. The administration, special areas, and teachers work very hard to instill character building, respect and compassion in all their children.

From day one we were greeted with positive and contagious smiles and support. At first I thought we just got extremely blessed to have Jennifer Kasztelen for kindergarten to but first grade was just as awesome with Ms. Allen. My grandchild was encouraged to be the best student and person she could be in all areas of school. From the office through the lunch room to the SRO officer she was well taken care of and safe.

I removed my child from this school. The principal does not listen to concerns from parents about how their child is being treated in the classroom, and refuses to do what is in the best interest of the children. My child went from being a very positive person and loving school to wanting nothing to do with it in a matter of weeks. The teachers treat the students poorly, talk down to them and if they perceive your child as a problem will inflate a small situation until the child acts out, all while acting like they are trying to "help" them. I don't like to pretend my child is perfect and will hold him accountable for his actions when he is in the wrong however I truly believe this school has brought out the worst in his behavior.

Love this school. The teachers and support team are concerned about the students education and their welfare. You can see and feel the compassion throughout the school and know that each student is given the best opportunity to get a great education.

The principal at this school allows teachers to get away with treating students poorly. Concern for children as individuals does not exist in the front office, as well as in several classrooms. The principal does not work to resolve problems presented to her. I was quite frustrated with my concerns being dismissed by guidance and the principal. I took my daughter out of this continuosly declining school.

DO NOT send your child to this school if you care about your child's education and self-esteem. My son loved school and was pretty confident until he went to this school. The teachers, faculty, office personel, and students are very rude and act like the parents are an inconvenience. They did NOT make me or my son feel welcome at this school. Mrs. Gilbert is the only teacher that seemed to care for the best interest in your child. There is no communication at all with school to parent. Safety is not a concern either. They allowed my son to walk home without my permission!!!!!! Not happy nor impressed at all with this school. If i could rate it a ZERO, i would... please choose a different school...
