Fantastic school district, especially North Elementary. Very caring and educational environment. Would clone Ms. Rottler if I could ;) read more

Terrible school district! My kids went 1 year to this district and I would never submit them to that kind of trauma ever again. Bad enough people are moving out of the district. Our subdivision literally lost 4 families including ours at the end of this school year because nobody wanted to put their kids back in this district next year. They all went to North Elementary. Granted all school districts have their own set of issues but this one is by far the worst. There are numerous teachers who are abusive towards the children and the school protects them! Several kids have come home with bruises because one of the teachers who works during lunch flicks them really hard if they misbehave. Everyone was complaining that their kids grades including mine were going down the tubes due to teachers refusing to actually help the children who struggled actually understand the lessons. Also they make these kids eat in the dark and in silence. If they talk during lunch their made to fill out a disciplinary sheet and apologize, moved to a special table and shamed in front of everyone, and have to go to a reteach room which is basically a brainwashing room. The music teacher takes your kids out of the school without even asking for parents permission from the parents or even so much as notifying them that he's doing or going to do so. Their supposed to be mandated reporters however my daughter had gone to their school councilor on several occasions and told her how her mothers boyfriend has been abusing her and her other siblings while she's been at her moms house and nothing was ever said. Not to me. Not to the state. No one! I only found out later when she finally came to me and she even told me about how she had gone to her councilor for help! Also my son has asthma and had on 2 different occasions gotten so winded that he passed out and had hit his head hard. The school nurse never called, sent a note home, nothing! My son could have had a concussion and we wouldn't had known! Other than he has deep gauges and bumps on his head on both occasions. That's the only reason we had any idea that anything had happened. Their supposed to be an anti bullying school district but nothing is ever done about any of the kids who do bully. They actually punish the ones who are getting bullied. Mine had told them numerous times about a couple kids and they did absolutely nothing. Eventually mine defended themselves on a couple of occasions and were punished for it! Which these particular kids weren't just targeting mine. At least 5 other kids were complaining. Lastly don't let your kids get sick here! They are strict on their attendance because they want the money for you kids being there and if they miss for any reason, be prepared to find a very rude letter in your mailbox stating their gonna call dfs on you if they miss anymore days. They will even send you one of these letters even if they were at school and the school nurse sent them home that day! When I confronted this school about these issues they turned to dirty tactics and decided to attack my children over it. Needless to say that I dropped the issue in order to keep my kids from paying for it. Other parents have tried bringing up the same issues with no prevail. I wouldn't suggest this school or district to anyone ever and my children along with about 12 others that I know of will most definitely never be back that's for sure. read more
