I have had mixed experiences with concerns as to how the majority population may be favored over the minority population. This appears to impact the progress of all students in learning

There has been a lack of homework provided over the six or so years I have been working with my students at this school location

Looking at the rate and level of the students learning compared to the State standards and other schools in the Country I would have to say to a level they are doing the best they can at this school. However could push the students to be more effective.

I have had negative feelings from the Superintend down. Sometimes ego gets in the way of their listening and effectively working with the community and appear to pacify rather than deal with the real and hard issues.

I have had the pleasure of working in North Elementary School in various capacities over the past few years and am incredibly impressed by the leadership and culture of that school community. They are welcoming to all students, families and community partners and have strong community participation in school events and programs.
