NORTH WALL SCHOOLS INC

The entire staff is truly exceptional. From day one, they take the time to learn not only your child's name but also yours, and they consistently address you by name while recalling small details. They are outstanding educators who are respectful, encouraging, and loving, and they regularly share photos of your child throughout the day. The curriculum is excellent, and my child has adapted to learning very well. I am extremely pleased with this school, which also provides a supportive environment that values Jesus Christ.

My son likes this school, especially Diana teacher helping him a lot. Let him feel good and like his school!

Both of our kids have had good experiences and with their food allergies (ingestion and contact) the school has been proactive in communication and help

We were attracted to North Wall because of the outdoor green areas. We liked our child’s teacher as a person but she was a new teacher and lacked mentorship. Very little prep time for curriculum development, no ongoing education or training of teachers and staff. There was no social emotional learning curriculum or visual calendars-- really basic stuff for the population that they claim to serve. The “gifted” teacher disciplined kindergarten and 1st graders for fidgeting. She actually left but they had no apparent plans for restarting the gifted program. Very poor communication about changes with substitute teaching or infections. School did not respond to multiple requests to share with other parents that a stomach virus was spreading in the school that had about a week incubation period and was very contagious. Ended up having a camping trip from hell because of it and they still wouldn't tell any of the parents or even respond to the request. There were safety issues, like a fire in a shed that wasn't communicated to parents; we only found out because the children informed us. After we expressed concerns about several near accidents with confusion in the parking lot about the right of way exiting the southern part of the lot and turning right vs people traveling south and turning left, they never followed up. They leave the front gate unlocked and didn't change the code for the entire time we were there. A lot of worksheets, poor organization, chaos, focus on holidays, especially Christian ones, despite claiming they didn’t push that. Lack of receptivity to feedback. Really odd lack of communication and follow-through. The one great thing is they are willing to allow parents to have their own aides/supports in the school. But they stopped letting parents visit once they started to become aware of how chaotic and unsupported the teacher was. Thing was, parents were concerned about things but couldn't actually connect with each other. Only parents who served on the board received contact information of other parents. If your child has special learning needs, I would go somewhere else. We later learned our child had vision problems that gave him headaches. I'll never forget the time he was punished for complaining loudly that the writing assignment was too long. We know four other sets of parent who withdrew their children due to dissatisfaction with similar concerns. We were so relieved to say goodbye to North Wall and go places where it has been so much easier on all these fronts. We can’t believe how good it feels to have our child in a different school.

Both of our children attend NWS and love it. The classroom environments are safe and allow room for engagements. You can tell that the staff is very engaging and that they truly love working there with the kids! The true test of talking to our children about school has proven nothing short of a successful decision to continued year-round enrollment.
