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.

It's such an inspiring group of educators and families who truly believe in the school's mission. Our child feels supported, seen, and excited to come to school every day--she loves learning, creating, and being herself here. DDES doesn't just focus on academics; they're helping kids learn how to be good people and make the world a better place. The teachers foster curiosity, kindness, and confidence in a way that feels both intentional and joyful. It's a place that values character, collaboration, and real-world learning--and it shows in the way the kids talk about what they're doing. We couldn't be happier to be part of this community.

Update! The new athletic director is top notch. Thank goodness they replaced Michael T and put…read moreCameron Browne in the position. He is responsive and kind. 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.

My son has been at MAC since he was 6 months old, starting off in their baby area called Nido and…read morecurrently in the Toddler environment. We've had a great experience at MAC. The staff is very contentious and dedicated to each individual child's development. The Montessori work is age-appropriate, engaging and instructive. There are also ample opportunities for gross motor development and free play. As a working mother, the highest praise I can give is that I never worry about my son at MAC. I know he's in good hands, well cared for, challenged to be independent and to learn, and is a happy camper when I pick him up.

Also, I have two witnessed instances where my child was jerked/yanked/twisted by his arm by two different primary teachers for minutes at a time, so we quickly felt that we were lucky we departed when we did. When I brought the issue to admin's attention, they seemed appalled and talked of having a "body safety course" offered to their staff. Nothing ever came of it. Total Mom fail for spending $60k over the course of 2.5 years all for a program that promised us the world but delivered to us a sad, distrusting little boy who lacked any self confidence. I am very happy to report that 8 months later, we have rebuilt trust with our son, and he is thriving without being swallowed by constant negativity and abuse.

Sandoval Elementary seems to be one of the best elementary school choices in the Highlands area…read more The DPS system does not have an excellent reputation. My son has been attending Sandoval a few years now. Sandoval is a little strange. The classes are grouped so for example 1,2 and 3rd graders are all lumped together for 3 years. I did question this method, but the bright side is that it creates some stability in class mates and teachers. It's half Spanish speaking which I feel is a mixed blessing as well. My son is learning two languages but I am afraid he may end up a "jack of all trades master of none" but the verdict is still out. The school is kind of hard to get into, so I think the parents and kids seem to take learning a little more seriously at this school.

Please don't bring your little ones here... my husband and I enrolled our son Archie when he was 3…read more He went in very excited to learn and socialize. Things quickly went sour when the main teacher started disappearing for months at a time, placing the kids in the care of assistants, art teachers, music teachers, basically anyone with a pulse. This started to wear our child out and dropping him off became a triggering experience. He was never a clingy baby so it was odd to me how distraught he was at drop off. Rather than working with you on behavior issues, they are quick to throw incident reports your way basically blaming your kid for everything. The final straw came when my child was left unattended long enough to destroy the classroom, the staff had the audacity to tell me my 3 year old child needed to take books home to glue pages back together when he was the one left unattended and could have been seriously hurt. The music teacher discussed death of a loved one with my child without permission, they didn't take accountability for either incident which really didn't sit right with me. Not to mention they take more days off than public schools but you're paying an insane amount of money just because it's "Montessori" This place is a glorified daycare, and a crappy traumatizing one at that.
