I am really shocked by the type of teachers they allow in schools these days. It would be a stretch to think that any of my childs teachers like children in any way. This is a school that does not challenge their minds and when a child is interested and questions things for learning sake they are disciplined. A simple failure to raise your hand in class lands your child in detention and the label of a problem child. Part of teaching for these age groups includes a bit of baby sitting and if a teacher can not handle the fact that kids occassionally talk out of turn then they should be teaching college students not primary and middle school.

I have been an NMS parent for 5 years and the experience has been excellent. My children have definitely been challenged academically and the teachers have been wonderful. I have found Northside to be a positive environment in all aspects. I would encourage you to speak with one of the administrators at the school if you have specific concerns so that the issue can be addressed.

This is a poor middle school. Teachers are apathetic and do not challenge their students. This school is filled with mediocre teachers. As parents, we continue to be shocked and awed by the gross incompetence. This school lives up to the phrase: 'middle school -where teacher and student minds fail to grow'.
