Northwest Montessori School

"The staff and even the classroom setting change every year forcing the kids to readjust year after year to the drastic changes. They do not hold themselves accountable for the fluctuations in the school and the impact it has on the kids, nor the dysfunctional, inconsistent, communication with children or parents. Staff targets certain kids. There are children every year that get booted "weeding out" by an irrational bar. Staff needs to be trained better. Very few staff are AMI-trained. The setting is too relaxed, letting the kids freely roam. My son is still struggling with certain subjects and is behind because of the laxed education. Most children aren't challenged by the program and many eventually leave. Parents aren't informed on where their child is on national level. After speaking with a parent that had their child in my son's class, they told me they had an evaluation done on her child after leaving the school and that he was 2 grades below what he should have been. We don't plan to attend this school anymore (he's been in it for years). I warn any parents seeking a true Montessori or even a decent education, you will be very disappointed. For those in the school currently. I highly recommend having your child's development evaluated based on the national level. It will speak for itself."

"I go there, and after four years at an unforgiving public school, this place was a breath of fresh air. I have lots of friends and thrive in a Montessori community. If you're looking for a place to go for middle school afterwards, try pacific crest."

"I've never seen any school or daycare acts so unprofessional! The director took my $200 check, but never followed up. I called many times to inquire about my application status, they never took my call, never called back nor replied my email ! If you don't want the parents to consider you a fraud, at least let them know their application results!!!"

"My kids love going to school at the Northwest Montessori :)"
