Awesome teachers and a warm welcoming school!
—Submitted by a parent


Posted October 18, 2010

Our daughter has epilepsy and has special needs. After transferring from a school in dist 197, which focused on things she couldnt do, Northview focused on things she could. Giving her a sense of pride and self-esteem. Since starting Northview in the second grade, she is thriving! This school is the best!

This school it top notch!!! Mrs Carl is a great principal and the teachers really care about your children. Not just their education but their well being. We are so blessed to live here where our children can have a great education.

Northview is a wonderful, caring learning environment. The principal is exemplary, the staff are outstanding, parent involvement is excellent. We couldn't ask for more. Our daughter will be in Fifth Grade next year, and Northview has been her school since Kindergarten. We consider ourselves fortunate to live in this district.

The math program is excellent. Students got chicken noodle soop on the menu after using basic statistics, verbal interviews and a little math.
