Horrible, not safe, staff that is not professional at all! The only thing that helped this school was the parents in PTO that put on amazing events for the children and raised the school money. Sadly though the school principal was so worried about these parents doing such a good job he sent nasty emails, told lies, went to the superintendents and started fights in PTO meetings. In the end the principal divided the school, ignored children being physically bullied, joined his staff gossiping on facebook about parents and children in a negative way, and when asked about the nurse overdosing the children his answer was, Well she has too many children to overlook, so accidents happen. It's very sad to know this kind of stuff happens at an elementary! None of mine children will ever go back there or to any Center Grove schools! I have been in the hospital with my child 7x bc of the school!!! Police reports have beenmade on the school,CPS has been called on the school and it's realy ugly what parents have been through. It's very sad that so many children have been hurt and suffer bc of the school principal and his actions. It was shocked when I heard therre are many more parents at the school who are dealing with the same things. If you want what's best for your child don't take them to North Grove or ANY Center Grove schools!! Close Quote
