Very good! Both of my children look forward to going to school each days and both of them have connected with several teachers and staff. The vice-principal is always positive and cheering the kids on.

I absolutely love this school! My son is just finishing up 1st grade here. He also attended kindergarten here. We are looking to buy a house in a different district (not fond of the West high school) and I am absolutely heartbroken about having to pull him from Northwest! We have been so lucky for him to have two wonderful teachers. The principle and asst. principle are wonderful and the secretary in the main office is so kind. I remember being worried about my son having to attend a Manchester school and was hoping to move out of Manchester before he started. When that didn't happen, I hoped for the best and I am SO happy that we stayed in Manchester and he's been able to begin his education here. He loves his school!

I love this school. My kids have been going here since 2012-2013 school year. All the teachers my children have had were and are simply amazing. The before and afterschool activities are wonderful. The school and play grounds are clean and safe. There are too many activities to list that they do at this school. And all the children are welcome to attend everything. The principal is great as is the assistant. Both very involved and know the kids well. I have nothing negative to say about this school. Very happy parent

We love Northwest Elementary! We were unsure at first having heard all the negative press about public schools, especially city schools, but are sure we made the right decision. The administration is warm, friendly and encouraging. They truly care about the school and its students. Our kids have had fantastic teachers so far and look forward to going each day. The school encourages parental involvement, offering many community activities which are well attended.
