I am a parent of 3 Norcrest children and am looking forward to a new school year (2 weeks from now). The Principle and office staff are wonderful! The teachers are outstanding (ms. Martin, ms. Dorbin, and ms. Delfaveroe are A+ all the way)! If you can get your child into Norcrest, I highly recomend it!
I have two children in this school. The staff is very caring and fair. I did not realize how far behind my son was, until he went to Norcrest. Private school kept him behind academically. With the guidance of the school staff, my son is ready for middle school and my daughter is developing very well in Kindergarden.
great teachers...great atmosphere.great after care teachers take a lot of time with the students and have compassion for what they do as teachers.. staff is also very supportive
My son is in Kindergarten, but this is his 3rd year at Norcrest. He started in the PLACE Program for a delay in speech. The program exceeded my expectations. He was then placed into the Intergrated Pre-K class and again wonderful results. He is now in a regular class and I am happy with his academic achievements. Their after-care program is wonderful and so far his teachers have had an open communication policy with me when ever I had concerns. About my son and I worked well with them. The school has a great 'No Bullying Policy' and is a Drug-Free school. I am never worried about my child leaving the school grounds without authorization and feel comfortable that he is safe until he is picked up.
I like many of these reviews, had my children in a private school. I felt that they were falling behind how ever I was helpless living in an area that do to 'zoning' laws which put us in a horrible public school. Private school was our only answer at the time. Since then we just happened to move into the Norcrest school area. I was delighted with what I found. My Kindergartner and second grader are both coming along well now. They both struggled at first due to the habits they were thought in a non-public school. My second grader is in need of E.S.E's and got the attention and testing in one year that I asked for and did not receive in the private school for two years. Thank you Norcrest and keep up the good work! On a very resent note... Thank you to Mrs. Ray, staff and facility for always safely releasing our children to us in a weather event. It is a little bit of a wait however what price can you put on bringing your child home safely?
Awesome! Tried private school and was not impressed. I am very happy with the quality of my child's enviroment there. He is happy and that is most important.
Wonderful school and great teachers! Norcrest has adopted a uniform look dress code starting in August 2007. Also, they are renovating. Norcrest is the best! Go Tigers!!
My children all attended a local private school. I had heard excellent things about Norcrest and was not happy with the private school so I gave it a try. It was the best thing I had ever done for my children. Academically, my children have excelled after having to be tutored from not learning what they needed to learn at the private school. They have had excellent teachers who really cared about how well they were doing and worked with them really hard for the FCAT. Through the extra help, my children scored very high on the fcat which has gotten them into excellent middle school programs and then on to excellent high school programs. Norcrest is the best start you can give to your children. Excellent teachers, excellent safe environment, excellent family involvement! The best thing is an excellent education at no cost!
My two children having been attending this school for a quite a few years. They have both done extremely well. The faculty take the time to really make sure the student understands what is being taught. It's small and everybody knows everybody, it's a very tight family. I would recommend this school to anyone!
This is a very good school and it has very nice rounds
