Northeast Elementary School

I have not been extremely impressed with this school and their discipline techniques. My sons have very good behavor don't ever get in trouble yet they are loosing their recess all the time, not because of their behavior, but their classes behavior. What motivation does this give our kids, too keep doing good, and or do better!? I also think our kids as a whole, do not get enough recess! Kids need to be able to be kids too!

No stars for this school. My gradchild started attending this school during this school year (2011-2012) and the amount of incidents that have accumlated over this time has left me speechless. One problem was solved through the school and parents working together to obtain a solution, even though this took many meeting. Then another problem arose. There is no end when teachers and administrative staff do not look out for the welfare of children in their care to prevent them from being harmed.

My daughter has attended northeast for her first year of elementary school. I could not ask for a betters front office staff. Well one to be exact. The other I have nothing nice to say anything about so we will leave it at that. Her teacher Mrs. Moffet I couldn't ask for anyone better to teach my daughter. The communication between her and parents it perfect. NEES is lucky to have a teacher that goes above and beyond for her students!

My daughter is in kindergarten and I love the way the teacher works with the parents. My daughter is a little bit behind in her speech, but her teacher is always encouraging my daughter and giving me resourses to help her.

My son has attended Northeast Elementary School for 2 years now and we have had a great experience. It is clean, well equiped, and has an excellent communication system with the parents. We had 2 wonderful teachers (K&1) who gave our son a super start to his education experience. The only negative is a rude office staff! But fortunately, the rest of the school shines!

This school is so bad I can't even bring myself to give it a star. The staff is not supportive nor friendly. The communication between the parent/teachers and staff is sad. The work is insulting and not challenging to the student. The after school programs are near impossible to get into thanks to over crowding, even if the child needs it. If this is the best clarksville has to offer then our children are all in trouble.

We have a 10 year old who has been diagnosed with ADD. Any parent who is faced with this understands how challenging it is to teach a child with ADD. The teachers and faculty at Northeast have done an extremely good job at seeing he has the best opportunity to succeed. My son was an A student in the 3rd grade and is now doing great things in the 4th. We re fortunate and thankful for the friendship and professionalism shown us as parents.

Last year was a nightmare, office staff RUDE, teacher never returned notes sent to school or e-mail messages. No budget for classroom supplies parents must pay a 'school fee' per child. Over crowed class rooms and my child was changed to a new class half way thru the year and her class played catch up till the end and never did get to the point they should have been. Unhappy 2nd grade experience we hope and pray 3rd grade will present with a much better year. Will keep you posted!

My children have been attending NEES for 3 years. I can honestly say that I have never had a bad experience in this school. The teachers are very helpful and appreciate any time you are able to help out in the class. Which has helped me stay aware of what my children are learning in class. The office staff is also very accommodating. They always have smiles and hellos and seem to drop what they're doing when you have a question or concern. (Reading the other reviews I'm assuming there has been a change of office staff in the last few years.) In no way could they be referring to the present staff. Although I wish there was before and after school specials for the children, I realize that it's not the choice of the individual school for these programs.
