The Fowler/Sulkowski team teaching team for kindergarten is excellent! Earlier in the year at a different school, the teacher reported that my son had a lot of trouble paying attention and focusing to learn, but he experienced none of those problems when we moved to Northwest halfway through the year. He hadn't changed - the teachers and the school did. Our experience here was top notch.

I have not had any issues with Norhtwest. The teachers are awesome. Hard work keeping track of all those kids. I don't mind making contributions of hand sanitizer, kleenex and wipes to my kids' classes. I know their budget is limited. To the teachers at Northwest...thanks for all you do.

Didn't get a warm, fuzzy feeling from this school. Therapists have more power than the teachers, much like a charter school. Principal is a very nice person, but doesn't follow up on promises. We did really like some of the specials teachers, though.

The parents of this school have no sense of reality. The PTO is full of woman with big heads. There is lunch staff issues, fire hazards during the lunchtime for 5th graders folding tables stacked in a way that would prohibit the students to exit the lunch room safely. A teacher/counselor believes children with asthma can learn to breath through asthma attacks. Be sure you don't respond to a phone call and rush over to the school. You might just get yelled and screamed at for showing up to take care of an issue. Instead of fundraisers now they demand that you fork over $25 at the beginning of the school year to support the school. Instead of asking for help they try to demand it. The only good thing about the school is the teachers. I am very glad this is my last year there and it is only October.
