This school is terrible! The lack of respect for the parents by the teachers and principal is insane. The children do not learn here, partly because the teachers quit so often. At that point they teach the kids by just handing them a packet. At that point it may be a real teacher that steps in or the counselor (no Im really serious) I would not recommend this school to anyone. The teachers do not seems equipped to deal with the children emotionally either. My child was being severely bullied and one day a couple kids jumped my child, the teacher told my child that it would not have happened if he were where he was supposed to be. That literally brought me to tears because how alone my baby mustve felt in that moment. Needless to say this is our last year.

The atmosphere at Propel Northside is more akin to a military school than a public school. The administration and teachers are hyper-focused on discipline, often to the detriment of academics (where the school seems to be failing across the board). Unfortunately, many of the teachers are in over their heads and clearly not up to the challenges of a racially mixed city school. There is a high turnover of teachers as well; it is not uncommon for a classroom to have 2-5 different teachers within a year. There is little to no communication between staff and parents, and on the rare occasion administration addresses parental concerns they do so in a dismissive and condescending manner. I think for many people there is a belief that Propel is a better alternative to their local public school, but I would caution prospective parents to really do their homework before sending their children to Propel.

They let the kids who want to learn get bullied and do nothing to prevent it. It s as though they actively try to cover it up. But, that s just my experience and opinion, and I will never again suggest to anyone to send their children here.
