My daughter studied in Northwood from KG to 5th grade and absolutely loved it every single day. She got very good teachers and had a very supportive, motivating environment to learn every day. The school activities kept her excited throughout the year. Music, PE and other yearly activities are something to look forward to.The 5th grade teachers really prepare students well for the middle school and the emotional/social preparedness sessions(by BUSD) were additional help to the class.The school keeps the parents involved and informed of all activities and development of the kids.Its a safe and supportive place for the child's development. Cant recommend enough.

If you have a special needs kid, run. Run as far away as possible from this school. Your child will not be supported at all here.

Very good school w lot of learning opportunities for kids. Management is too good and teachers itself tries to get a name, then obviously this school stands good

I am not sure if I can trust the comments here; I am pretty sure some of the comments are spams. Yet , if people can not tell spam from real comments, it will serve no good for kids, for parents, and for the community in general.
