Excellent student to teacher ratio, very caring teachers and wonderful curriculum!

My children have attended this school for 4+ years, two of my children are now straight A students in high school and I believe their study habits and the support of the teachers at Northdale are what has given them the ability to excel in high school. I still have two students attending Northdale and I'm expecting great things from them as well!

small teacher/student ratio, unsafe playground conditions with not nearly enough supervision. Too much emphasis on memory Bible work and not enough on academics.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
