Norwood Elementary School

This is one of the best Elementary schools in Bergen county. We moved to Norwood a year ago and we are very satisfied with school, teachers and environment fostering individual creativity, respect to others and team work. .

Norwood Public School is a small school providing caring and stimulating environment. The teachers are excellent and caring. Competitiveness is not the only way to education especially at elementary and middle school. This school teaches children a team approach, making learning exciting. Children are taught to be respectful, inclusive, compassionate and do well academically.

Very disappointed. Very cold and uncaring. If your child is not on track as expected the approach is unbelievably indifferent. Kindergarten teacher had very limited experience. My child is now in catholic school and has not had any problems. The difference is teachers and their ratio to students. She now gets the attention she should have received. She has flourished without any difficulties.

I attended NPS from 96-04 and I have to say this is an amazing school. The teachers are caring and the material is very advanced but they make it easy to learn. I moved to Florida after I graduated and attended High School in Florida and the material learned my junior year of high school in FL I learned in 7th grade at Norwood Public School. I am still in contact with a few of their teachers even after all these years. Trust me when I say you will NOT be disappointed.

Norwood Public School has wonderful teacher, students, and parents who all work together to make the school a great place to learn!!

Discipline oriented but no encouragement in creativity.... that's a major concern. Perhaps, I should look for other town to move in.

I felt disappointed by some teachers at Norwood school districts. I don't find them to be warm and loving, instead very discipline oriented. The mood of the school seems to be ' if you behave, you are a good student' I don't feel that there is enough efforts to develop creativity of each students through programs such as music and art.
