My daughter gets wonderful support at this school. The teachers have done a terrific job with her IEP and helped to gradually reduce her services.

My child goes to this school, and she came home and told me that she wanted to kill herself because of how racist and unfair this school is, the treated her so terrible.

The TK teacher does a wonderful job with the students. My son has really grown socially being in her class. I couldn't have asked for a better first teacher for him!

We have had a wonderful experience at this school. My boys are as different as night and day, but both have had their educational needs easily met here. The teachers are engaged and responsive, the office staff is on top of everything and the PTA is out if this world! Everyone works together to ensure a positive school experience for ALL of the students that attend.

My daughter started Kindergarten at Northmont Elementary last year . What I love about this school is that it has three different playgrounds. Kinders have their own right in front of the classrooms, which is fully fenced. 1st to 3rd grades have one, and 4th-5th grades have the biggest one. The restrooms are nearby the classrooms and play areas. Ms. Sass is a great kindergarten teacher. My daughter was a very shy and sensitive girl, but with the help of her teacher, she was comfortable at school. Parent volunteering is good too. There was always a list of parents who were willing to help.

I have a daughter who has attended Northmont since Kinder and she is now in 3rd grade. She has loved every second and so have I. I'm happy to say she's had some of the best teachers! Their involvement with the students is so incredible. This year she has Ms Konarska who, I must say, has been amazing in my daughters development. She is dedicated to making sure the children are well rounded and that they are exposed to other cultures in the world. I LOVE the fact that my 3rd grader comes home and can teach me a few things. Good job!!!

I have two children currently attending Northmont and I love this school! Their teachers have been so attentive, caring, sweet, loving, and warm. Mrs Smith is a fantastic Kindergarden teacher, Mrs. Wilson is the pre-k teacher and is the best you'll find anywhere. We currently live outside the district but I commute each way because my kids are so happy there. Mrs. Belcher, the school principal, is very involved. You can see her outside making sure the kids are safe after school and during lunch times. I agree with the previous post about the office staff. They could afford to be a little more friendly.

The teachers that we have encountered have been very attentive, caring and firm when needed, to ensure that our child receives a great education. The only concern that I have is around the administrative office staff, they often come across as inconvenienced by questions and unfriendly. I believe that additional direction from Ms. Belcher would remedy this.
