School highlights:
My child must have went to a different school from the other reviewers. While she had very positive results from the IEP program, everything else was lacking. Communication breakdowns were a constant thing between the teachers and myself and bullying was apparently out of control. It got so bad that I complained to the district, which also did nothing. They did not even respond to my emails. I moved during the summer to get her away from my school. She went from outgoing and friendly to withdrawn and sad in the course of a school year. A safe envoriment is important. NEVER AGAIN North Springs!
All three of my kids attend NSE, I'm very pleased with the activities, the grade of parent involvement and the communication among parents and teachers. My kids are Honor roll students and I feel the school does a great job at recognizing those students who excell. My oldest child is in QUEST and the hands on, and learning experiences he is receiving because of this program are incredible
My daughter was at this school for 4 years and my son,Nicholas Green is still attending in 3rd grade. We went to the school play tonight and I have to say...it was the best one ever! My daughter is at Summit Parkway now and is making straight A's. My husband and I feel like Lindsey had the best education at NSE and she was well prepared to go to middle school due to her exceptional education at NSE. Thank you all for everything you do!
The teachers here are great! I always feel very welcomed. There's excellent communication between school and home with weekly 'Cricket Times' and always prompt replies to emails. As my children move on to Middle School I'm very grateful to all the staff here who prepared them for acceptance into the advanced and honors courses.
The administration and staff are wonderful. They have an ALERT Program that my child likes. Overall it is a nice school.
