The principal is the only thing standing in the way of excellence. Why she even continues to work is a mystery to most!
Teachers are very active and work long and hard, however administration at North leaves much to be desired. I so not know how teachers continue to work so well without leadership. The local BOE needs to investigate the principal at this school.
The teachers are wonderful! However, they are not supported by the current principal. My child loves her teacher but does not even know who the principal is!
The principal here has no clue what she is doing. Everyone is waiting for her to retire.
The principal here is atrocious. On the first day of kindergarten, my daughter and I cheerfully entered the building, saw the principal, introduced ourselves, she just stared, barely acknowledged me, and did not even say hello to my child. There is NO supervision as the buses pull up in the morning. NO supervision as the hundreds of kids pour out of school at the end of the day. The principal's leadership is non-existant from Day 1.
This school is absolutely great!. My two daughters were new to the school in August 2008 and could not either understand or speak English, because we have just moved from our country to Morgantown. The ESL program is simply wonderful, and all teachers involved with my girls were excellent. North was like our second home in Morgantown, and the last day of school my girls cried because school was over. We will certainly miss North back to our country.
New to the school this year......This school has many outstanding teachers. I still have never seen the principal after 9 months!
My son loves this school. The teachers are wonderful and the activities are good. I don't understand why there are no good storage areas for the older kids that carry more. The principal is not very friendly, but overall a good school.
I must say this school is really not as good as I was expected. The school environment is not friendly at all. Some kids even stole notebook and pencils from my kid. The more shockinglly, some teacher didn't care and just simply answered'It's not my fault!' This would indirectly encourage the kids who did the stealing. So what you can expect: Stealing, irresponsible and selfish teacher. Kids are our futures. They don't deserve that answer from a full -time teacher who should be a positive role model to kids. I really don't want to those kinds of things happen in my kid's school but this is so true. God! Please bless our kids!!!
I simply love this school! The teachers are simply amazing and they work so hard with the students. The environment is very friendly and accepting. Both my girls go here and they will always cherish the time spent here.
