Rev Rachel is so bright, her sermons always captivating and she places the Gospel readings in the context of the times in which they were written. She is a Social Justice Warriorette! Full of life and love, I was immediately sold. Episcopalians were the first Christians to ordain Native Americans, and in the mid 1900's ordained a man who had not even been welcomed as a "citizen." My kids were Christianed in the early 80's by a woman and for my second kid she was hugely pregnant. And then of course, gays were welcomed into the fold. There are Episcopal Churches that are Very Conservative and then there's Trinity. Open hearted, open minded and I'm so happy I've found it!

The skill labs have a lot of repetition built in, and the teachers are always willing to help or provide tips. CPR, HIV training, and on site TB testing is also offered. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that assignments are all required to be handed in in-person at the school and cannot be turned in electronically. And several of the fees (for CPR, back ground check, etc) are only accepted in cash.

When my peer and I reached out to Pat she seemed empathetic and apologetic, swearing that things would change. When I went back in today for our skills review we were treated worse than even before. This is unacceptable, and it is not normal for an educational setting. Cheryl had gone out of her way on multiple occasions trying to talk poorly about students to other staff and instructors, telling them not to help us, and adding that she hopes my classmate and I would fail our exams. There is no excuse for her behavior. Pat has been negligent of the situation. Completely aware, pretends to care, and never responds to the verbal harassment and complaints she has received about Cheryl.

Firstly, I've been involved with this school for over 20 years. I've attended church at NCC, I have…read moreclose friends who work here, and I've had my students attend here. The last two years have been incredibly disappointing. Since Mr. Lane Beasley has taken over as head of schools, the turnover of critical staff at this school has been frightening. My current understanding is that the school is even having to hire entirely new departments next year because of staff departures/transitions. I've watched some of the loveliest people be forced out this school to make way for someone who used to be a MS counselor at the school to become the full school (K-8) principal. At the end of 2025, without any warning, the middle school principal was let go our 3-5 principal took his place. The narrative we were told was that He left by his choice after learning he wouldn't be returning the next year. After a personal discussion with him, I am sickened that the narrative we were told in no way aligns with what happened, as he was told to clean out and leave with just a few months of the school year remaining. Then this last year, a beloved teacher had been promoted to our school's K-2 principal. Apparently, rather than providing her feedback or coming alongside her when she struggled in the first year of this new position, she was fired and replaced with our 3-8th grade principal (who is now K-8). All of these transitions have resulted in our assistant principals being overworked, our staff feeling unsupported, and confusion about who's actually in charge at the school. I'm also disappointed in the school choosing to align itself with a specific brand of American conservative evangelicalism rather than the "bible based" identity it claims. My understanding is that when teachers talked or prayed about the unrest in Minnesota from earlier in this year, it was met with an email from admin asking them to "steer away from politics". But it was perfectly okay for the head of schools to send out an easter message that complained about a Washington State millionaires tax? Apparently Mark 10:25 or the Apostle's charitable living in Acts can be overlooked to embrace a gospel of prosperity rather than one rooted in the Bible. Needless to say, this institution has gone downhill. I love NCA, its teachers, and its families, but as an institution it's fallen well out of line with its original mission. This school cares too much about optics, and less about practice. They even had a teach inservice event last year where teachers were instructed to create accounts and give 5 star reviews to the school to bolster its online image. I'd be surprised if this review stays up long before they have it removed, but know this is all coming from someone who's been around this place a long time and is sad to see how it's fallen.

The current principle is supportive and engaging, and thankfully makes up for the rudeness of the front-office staff. It's really sad because these women are a poor representation, and a questionable first impression for such a great school. If you report the front-office staff for any reason, the administration will tell you what you like to hear, and then will do absolutely nothing. And they will give you a reason to complain. You'll want to steer clear of the office assistant. She is unabashedly confrontational. As an example, she frequently creates scenes in their packed front office. One day in particular I will share, is a day where as usual, I sat in the chair with my daughter as she read a book, awaiting my son to come from his class to the office. My son was being picked up early that day, and had been for about a week. On a random day for no apparent reason, she accused me of loitering, and asked me to leave, embarrassing me in front of several other parents. Another parent had observed the confrontation, and while we stood outside the office, to me stated that she also had a confrontation with this woman, and said that she was "very rude." She keeps a snarky tone on the phone because no one has ever discipled her for her behavior, and she knows no one ever will. I've reached out to several staff members, the principle, and the district office about her. There is another one in the front office at the main desk who likes to cut people off when they're talking, rolls her eyes, and makes passive-aggressive comments. My husband told me one day she was talking behind my back to him saying she liked to talk with him better than me. There's an older woman I frequently see in the front office who was once abusively shrieking at my son one day as he walked, and I reported her as well. I was very concerned about the tone of her voice towards the children, and thought she must be shouting at other students in the same way as well. The first year my son started school there, the school "nurse" was spamming me with multiple letters to my home address, in my son's backpack, and even stalked me in the hallway, even though I had asked her to stop. She used profanity once in the hall towards me after I publicly reprimanded her for following me around the school with a piece of paper, and waiting for me to come out of a classroom to hand it to me. I filed a complaint about her and accused her of stalking me. It was completely outrageous. Never in my life had I imagined someone working in a public school would actually do this to someone. I think it's important that I share these experiences. Because their behaviors go undisciplined, it's difficult for any parent to file a complaint and not be brushed aside. Hopefully when people start speaking up about this problem, someone will see that these people promote a terrible image for this great school. Other than that, keep up the good work.

We had our kids at Evergreen for four years. Most of the teachers were top notch, the curriculum…read morewas great, and the campus was very open and almost like a little college. We made a lot of great parent friendships as well. Ms. Judith, Kathleen, and Debra in PS, PK, and 1st grade were absolutely awesome and did an amazing job with our boys. The school also has great financial resources with very generous families supporting continued investment in the physical plant and new programs. One thing we wished were different might have been the level of competition between the kids to be first or best at everything and the impact that started to have on our oldest (who was beginning to only want to pursue things where he could be #1). I don't think the school encourages that (on the contrary, I think they encourage all the kids to always try) but it could be the natural dynamic of any school that only has gifted children. Some of our friends' kids also encountered challenges around bullying; it wasn't rampant though and could have been the reality of how kids interact at that age. On a related note, our biggest advice is to be aware of the sibling admissions policy. Our youngest was admitted to and attended Evergreen PS or PK and was doing great according to all the teacher evaluations. However, after two tests, his top IQ score was in the 90th percentile and as such was short of the 95th percentile cutoff. We were then told he could not continue to Kindergarten (even though the PK teacher strongly recommended he advance to Kindergarten). It made for a really stressful and emotional year for us and while we respect the School's right to set these kinds of policies, it seemed at odds with the values of community, inclusion, and social and emotional intelligence -- especially since the testing data was very inconsistent and in the gray area.
