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.

My daughter is in Mrs. Smiths. Mrs Smith is so caring of all her students. My daughter loves school and her teacher. Mrs. Smith makes sure that my daughter does not fall behind and always tells me her concerns so I could help. I am very pleased with how Mrs. Smith teaches her students!

I am not please with the school principle Mrs. Belcher due to the fact when I needed assistance she did not listen to any of my concerns. Very unprofessional in matters of personal issues. However I am very pleased with the teachers my daughter has had.

The teachers are great. I have found that there is a gap in instruction from Kindergarden to first. Their is also no play ground equipment for the kids thanks to someone sueing the school. They did finally raise some money for a tiny play gound. But it didn't pass inspection. So the kids are really bored at recess. There is also a new principle who is very lax with discipline.

I have had two kids at Northmont for three years, spanning grades 1-5. There are some great teachers at this school. Music, art and PE are virtually non-existent in the curriculum. Parent involvement is pretty good. GATE program is minimal, but better than nothing.

My daughter is in kindergarten and I simply cannot say enough good things about Northmont. Parent involvement is engouraged and abundant. Her teacher is top-flight and my daughter is thoroughly benefitting from all these things.
