Great, from the principal to all teachers and staff, everyone is so friendly and helpful. Teachers do a great job and are awesome at communicating thing to me.

We have been at Novak for four years now with two kids and have experienced great communication with the teachers and immediate attention to any issues our kids have had with teachers or peers. Very little turnover among staff; many of the teachers have been there for 15+ years which says a lot about the school!

Very safe, clean and secure. Outstanding, caring teachers. Many of the teachers have Master's degrees. So happy we have this school in our neighborhood. My child loves going to school! Communication between parents and teachers is great!

This school lacks in compassion for their students, empathy for parents, and overall caring. They allowed my daughter with autism to be beat up by other students for months regardless of my complaints, then told me that it was mutual at that point and my daughter needs to stop defending herself. The kindergarten class went through 3 teachers in 9 months. Teachers full of themselves, do very little to protect students, do not follow requests of parents. School refused to protect my older daughter with PTSD from possible danger. They also do not work well with outside agencies. Stay clear of this school! Not worth the risk!

Novak had my son from first through fifth grade. They all were excellent there. The staff is super friendly, helpful and loving to the kids. I am excited to see my daughter go to the brand new Novak building one year after it will be open. Keep up the wonderful jobs you do for our children Novak and see you with my daughter in 2011.
