What school district is North River Elementary School part of?
As a parent of three children attending this school, also nieces and a nephew who attend, this school is more than wonderful. My oldest is in the special ed program and is succeeding extremely well. The academics are challenging enough to keep them going. The faculty who work with the students are magnificent. They keep you up to date as a parent where your child stands. Since there is a small amount of students the classes are smaller and the teachers are able to give each student the individual attenction he or she may need. They grow an attachment and a bond that carries on through the rest of their school years. My children were transfered in North River about 3 to 4 years ago, and the experience has been great. A huge difference from the prior school they attended. The teachers, office staff, security guys, all know me and which kids I belong with when I walk in. It is a great feeling to know that everyone has a good idea who everyone else is. There is a secured feeling and a family oriented feeling when ever I visit the school, for whatever reason it may be. It is hard to find teachers that actually care for the students success, All the teachers at North River seek the success of their students.
