Avoid this school at all costs! My daughter went there for 1st grade and that was such a horrible time for our whole family. She broke her arm while at school, at lunch. I didn't receive a phone call at all. My daughter came home crying and I could tell it was broken. All I got from the school was the nurse blaming the teacher, teacher blaming the nurse, and the principal blaming it on "miscommunication." My daughter was labeled a "behavior problem" and when she would bring home some of the school supplies that we had bought for her, she was "stealing" My little girl absolutely hated going to school and cried every morning. She is now in another Franklin community school and we love it there. I am so glad they have district transfer forms!

My niece attends Northwood and I think that the teachers take a genuine interest in each student. The teachers are pressed hard from above and do their best to push the students to meet testing demands.

I am a preservice teacher, and I dream of working at a school like Northwood. The sense of community is amazing! The principal and counselor work hard to build relationships among the entire school and it definitely shows! Congrats Northwood Elementary, you are setting the bar high!

I go in every Monday and help with the Kindergarten reading group or play word games. Then I eat lunch with my child. I also attend and bring things to all school parties. Since I volunteer only on Mondays I do not burn out. : )

Our school gives us mandatory hours (15) that we must give to the school in one way or the other. It is very easy if you don't mind stuffing envelopes or being a lunch mom. I think they even give working moms the opportunities to work on paperwork.... More »
