MHA community seemed to have good hearted people in majority. Here are some of the negative experiences we had: Covid management and operations management spoke unprepared and very weak. After care homework program was very unique. Staff did not communicate properly in regards to bullying that was going in the classroom. School should have been more transparent on bullying policies.

Overall, I think the teachers and staff at Twain did a wonderful job. The only real negative was the high turnover rate of principals. But I believe that has been addressed by now. If you are in search of a good school, where your children can get a great start in learning, exploring, and growing, I'd highly recommend you visit Mark Twain.

I'm writing this review as a parent whose children attended Northridge Elementary School, and I…read morefeel compelled to share the deeply troubling experiences we endured over the years. My oldest son attended Northridge from 2nd through 6th grade, and his time there was marked by repeated incidents of bullying and racial discrimination. He was physically assaulted multiple times--on the school bus, in the hallways, and during recess. One of the most horrifying incidents involved another student beating him with my son's own 40oz Yeti bottle while hurling racial slurs. This was caught on camera and reported, yet the school failed to take meaningful action. Even during his final days at Northridge, the trauma continued. In May 2023, after receiving his yearbook, a student wrote the N-word in it. When I brought this to the principal's attention the last few weeks of school. On graduation day, I was told they were "sorry" but couldn't do anything because it was the end of the school year. That response was not only dismissive, it was unacceptable. Sadly, my younger child, who was in kindergarten that same year, also faced bullying. He was physically hurt when another student slammed his hand in the front door and was repeatedly cursed at and harassed during class, lunchtime and recess. Staff members were often disengaged, more focused on their phones than supervising the children. Again, the school failed to act, offering excuses and false claims that police had been involved, but none of which were true. Throughout our time at Northridge, incidents were brushed aside, and no real consequences were ever enforced. The emotional toll on my children has been significant, and the school's failure to protect them or take responsibility is beyond disappointing. I have other children, and I will never enroll them at Northridge. No family should have to endure what we did. Shame on this school for its negligence and lack of compassion.
