North Point School

I agree with all the negative comments here,especially about the principal. Glad my kids have moved on to the junior high/middle school.

This is our 3rd year at the school and we have multiple children at the school. We had a very frustrating experience the first year but really tried to give them the benefit of the doubt that they were still working out all the bugs that come from the first official year of being opened. But it has continued to be a frustrating experience! And this brand new school year is already not off to a great start.

Here are a few of our personal concerns/frustrations:

-HUGE lack of communication between faculty and parents! I get multiple notes home or hear multiple rumors about times, dates, and information about events.
-We feel like the principal only has the teachers best interest at heart. The faculty is very chummy and if you have a concern, the teachers all band together along with the principal. I think it's great that the principal defends his teachers, after all he did hire them and obviously thinks they're amazing. But who's looking out for the kids?! I just want to feel like I'm being listened to as a parent! Not all parents are just throwing a fit about silly things. There are valid concerns that are getting dismissed because the principal doesn't seem to believe that anything could possibly be wrong with any of his teachers. I know many parents who do not feel LISTENED to!
-After 2 years the school still doesn't have an up and running website! Hello, this is 2011!!!

Here are a few things that we have really liked:

-For the most part, my kids have had pretty great teachers. There was one we had some pretty big issues with and another that we had moderate issues with, but the others have been some of mine and my kids absolute favorite teachers!
-They are extremely spoiled when it comes to all of the technology they have available. They have definitely got to rank somewhere towards the top in the state for having some of the best things available to use.

I wish I could say that the things we have liked have far outshone the things we haven't, but that would be a lie. Overall, our experience with the school has been pretty frustrating.

This will be my son's second year at North Point. So far we're liking it, but I also can't believe there is no website yet for the school! Hopefully someone is working on that...

We have been really frustrated with North Point. A major communication gap exists between the school and the parents. The school has been open for two years but still lacks a website or any other consistent way of informing parents of important information.

The principal does not seem interested at all in input from parents. He seems bothered when parents want to voice opinions/concerns regarding their children.

Another frustration (that isn't necessarily the fault of the school administration) is that there are some serious safety issues. The school is located at one of the busiest intersections in Lehi, and less than two weeks before school starts no one seems to have information on if there will or won't be buses, if there will or won't be crossing guards, etc. When parents inquire at the school they are told these are district and/or city problems and the school doesn't have updated information on these items.

On a positive note, there are some top notch teachers at this school. So, if you're lucky, your child will get an amazing teacher and you'll rarely have to deal with anyone at the school besides your child's teacher.

Amazing pricipal!! Lots of opportunities to expand learning in an exciting and fun way. All of our teachers have been incredible and have given individual attention to our children. They motivate and compliment on a regular basis.
