Everyone in the office are rude, they don't listen and or care. This place is horrible. Just glad my child no longer goes here

My daughter just finished kindergarten. Our family's first language is Portuguese and she had full support from the school to develop her English. In a few months she no longer had any difficulty. The staff is very kind and always helpful when I needed any help.

I hate to do it as I do believe The new principal Mrs Curry has great intentions as some of the facilitators but there’s a tremendous amount of system restructuring to be put in place I wish I could stay to help but not at the expense of my child’s individual learning needs this includes the dual immersion program totally needs to be assessed as for its demographics and the educators of that programs need to be assessed closer to catch deficits within the objective

Love this school. Mr. Mosely is a fantastic principle (the kids love him), awesome vice principle, excellent teachers, positive environment- everyone from the front staff to the guidance counselor to the art teacher has treated us well and made us feel welcome. Everyone seems really energetic and excited to be there. This school is doing something right.

Norton Park is a wonderful school. The leadership and staff at this school is just incredible and I can't say enough good things about the teachers I have encountered. Everyone is so friendly and they genuinely care about each and every student. I have been in other schools with higher ratings and higher test scores and felt very much like a face in the crowd but at Norton Park everyone really tries their best to make parents and family members feel welcome and to get them involved. The transient nature of the student body and the impact this has on test scores caused me to hesitate when first enrolling my son but we decided to give it a try. 2 years later I'm very happy with our decision and wouldn't change schools for a 10 out of 10 rating if we were paid to, we love the school that much. And there is something to be said about getting back from a school what you put in. Our family is very involved at the school so I know my son is in great hands every day. From the Principal to the custodial staff, everyone is very pleasant and will do anything for these kids!

I have a child attending this school. The Principal, Vice Principal and teachers we have had the pleasure of working with have all been excellent. Our real concern is with the transient nature of the student body and lack of english as a primary language. Are native english speakers going to be left behind while there is a heavy focus on basic english to prepare these students for their education. What happens to the kids who don't need this language support, are they left behind?
