I would not recommend this school to anyone. Children are mistreated, and they then have long-term emotionally issues to deal with. Run away from this school. The principal is completely ineffectual and not capable of running a school. When we brought our issues to her she pretended she did not know what was going on in the classroom. The teacher continued working after several children were removed from her classroom. This is not a safe school for children.

We were very excited when our child got a spot at this school. Unfortunately, our first and only…read moreyear there wound up being very disappointing and frustrating. Our daughter was bullied relentlessly in her first classroom, and the teacher was so detached that he didn't even realize it was happening. I had been worried about her because she wasn't getting ANY works done and was having anxiety attacks on school nights that would often keep her up until past 11 PM, and when we finally figured out the cause, it was like pulling teeth to get the administrators to move her to a different classroom. Once she was moved, things improved for her generally, but I still have enough concerns to cause me to move her to a neighborhood school next year. A lot of the people who work at this school are wonderful, kind, hard working souls and I really don't want to make them feel undervalued. I've heard a few of the teachers are great, but I learned at the State of the School meeting that they have a high teacher turnover rate, as well as a high student turnover rate. The children also seem to face little to no consequences for bad behavior, and as a result I am actually embarrassed to be seen on field trips with them. My daughter went to a Title 1 school before this, and the children were much better behaved and respectful to adults and other children. On our last field trip at this school, I was actually shoved by a boy who was impatient to get off the bus! I did do research on the Montessori model and felt I understood what it entailed. My daughter scored very high on the CogAT and has natural curiosity, so I thought this would be a great place for her. At this point, however, I am concerned that she will actually be behind her peers when she starts the second grade. There was a Gifted and Talented group that met once a week, but they never completed any projects and half the time they wouldn't remember to come get her for the meetings (she was 6 the whole year, and could barely remember what day of the week it was). I thought Montessori students would be encouraged to be kind and caring, but I know of more than one other child that has actually left the school due to bullying. One of the Upper El students even told me that bullying is worse at this school because the kids are "free to get up and bug you whenever they want." I know that Montessori is supposed to be self directed, but I don't see any reason that the teachers should not be clued in to what is happening in the classroom and intervene when it is really necessary.

Another update is they really need to refresh the counseling dept. I've never been ignored so much in my life as I have been by these counselors. I've also heard my kids and their friends say the same kinds of things. They are just not good. If your kid is a go getter, they will do well at East. But I think all types of kids need attention and help too, and the quiet ones fall through the cracks here. Again, something I've dealt with in our family as well as hearing it from other families.

So far so good. Both my neighbor's sons graduated from North in the past 2 years and both had great…read moreexperiences. I currently have a junior at North. His learning family teacher has been amazing and very engaging. The staff we have interacted with during the back-to-school nights and progress reports were all very engaging and positive. Any time our son has had any academic struggles he has been able to remedy them during office hours. I know everyone has a different expectation of High School, and each situation is different but our experience has been excellent. Our younger son is an incoming Freshman next year and is very excited about attending.

I'm a senior at North High School, and I've attended the school for all four years. I want to say…read morethat this school was the worst choice . The staff, education, and overall experience were horrible. This school has so many problems, and I want to start with the staff. They're all lazy and lack the specific intelligence needed for their jobs. They have told my parents that they were too busy to help my younger brother be able to graduate. This is stupid, as they have a designated time called office hours to help improve students' grades, and my brother hasn't gotten the help he needs , especially because he has an IEP. They assured my parents that they would help him, but, as I said, there has been nothing. Something I found funny was that a counselor asked if I could tell my boss to change my hours just so she could schedule my off period to whatever worked faster for her. Aside from the unintelligent staff, the policies they have for students are even more ridiculous . They have 90-minute classes but give students 60 minutes or less for lunch. Recently, they have instituted hallway sweeps, only giving students 5 minute passing periods. It used to be 7 minute passing periods, making it harder for students to succeed. I also thought it was dramatic to have phones be put in a bin. I personally believe senior year should be the time when seniors prepare for life after school, teaching them how to be responsible, respectful, and what life will be like after high school, especially in a job setting. I feel that having my phone in a bin is childish, unnecessary, and does not prepare any senior for responsibility. There is obviously a lot more wrong with the school, but I'm not gonna waste any more of my time, so what I think is I don't recommend this school it's horrible if I could give 0 stars and still write this review I would.

Very tall ceilings, well maintained. The main thoroughfare is pretty impressive as you walk into the space. When there's kids walking around in between classes, the echo is impressive. Since I'm only there for a volunteer program, I can't speak to the teachers or the classes. However, my student that I read with is extremely bright and her teacher encourage her to reach as much as possible, for school and for fun. Really cool building and really cool kids.
