Nordstrom Elementary School

The principal is totally worthless. Uninvolved and aloof. School is a farce ! Teachers more concerned with their iPhones than kids.

My daughter transferred into this school and they were wonderful about getting her acclimated. The teachers are very good and the administration is very responsive. A great school!

My daughter attended Nordstrom school and had a wonderful experience. She especially enjoyed the annual "egyptian museum" project. The staff takes great pride in the school and its reputation. There are many parents involved in helping out and it stands out in the Morgan Hill community. I highly recommend this school.

Amazing school!! The entire staff from top to bottom; Principal to office staff to teachers are all phenomenal! If you can get your children in to this school, I highly recommend it. The teachers have all done an amazing job at making sure my son has gotten the best education possible for the last two years, and the rest of the staff have all been wonderful to deal with. Parent involvement is also very high at Nordstrom.

The teachers are great and my kids love the school. However the principal is not good at all. She shows favoritism and lacks communication skills. She tells you what you want to hear but does not act on it. I hope for the schools sake they get a compitant principal next year!!

I an realy surprise of some of the comment that are being made . Are you there at the school or are you just listening to your friends and following what they are saying . It is really easy to believe your frinds and your kids untill you see it for your selfs . Maybe spend more time at the school and see things for your selfs. This is a great school from our principal to the yard duties . They are all great .

My kids go to this school - Their experience has been fantastic!! The teachers are very committed to the child's success. The principal is very approachable, and very involved with the students. She has done an outstanding job, and I am surprised why some of the reviewers have posted negative comments. I have only nice things to day about the principal and the teachers.

Teachers are fantastic! Parent involvement way above average. Students are happy and great to work with but I have to agree with comments about the principal. Very inconsistent. Tells you what you want to hear but actually dealing with underlying issues is not done. Shows favortism. I feel Nordstrom has lost several good teachers because of poor management.

School is great, majority of the teachers are great. The principal is not great. She is not consistent with discipline and seems to make up rules as she goes. She explains a rule to me but the teachers do not even know about it. Communication between the teachers and principal is key and the school seems to lack the communication from the principal. Principal has poor communication skills and most of the time has a poor attitude, today she walked away from a conversation making a rude and unnecessary comment. I, along with many others are glad this is our last year at this school only due to the principal. I do not believe the principal she be in the position that she is in .

Principal is unkind and inconsistent. Teachers are great especially some of the 6th grade teachers. The principal has no place working around children or parents.
