Norwood Park Elementary School

I enjoy attending NPS. When I enter the building the pictures on the wall and the staff show that students come first. Thank you!

Norwood is an average school. It isn’t horrible but it isn’t as good as the 10/10 rating. I wouldn’t go out of my way to attend this school.

It can be a good school for the first few years, but as kids grow older, the small size backfires and kids became very mean, and the parents just did not seem to care. Now they are trying to propose to add on a bunch of preschool classrooms, when they cannot manage the traffic or the school they have now productively. And they only have enough for 2 classrooms for each grade, so I don't understand why this is even a consideration, if these preschoolers cannot continue to go into Norwood Park School?

I have a 3rd grader at Norwood; she has been at the school since kindergarten. She has learned so much at this school academically and is excelling in her school work. But she has also learned/strengthened so many other skills she needs in life; she has gained confidence speaking in front of large groups (she is painfully shy); she practices patience and respect for others and their differences; she now has clear ways to cope with the challenges that come from learning new things. Her teachers have all been outstanding and she looks up to them as role models. The principal is available to parents and sets up many avenues for feedback, and we have loved having him at the school. We feel lucky to have a wonderful school and a fantastic, caring educational staff.
