What families are saying about our school

When we moved to Dallas several years my top priority was to locate a neighborhood with a public school worthy of my child… that may sound funny but we all want our children to succeed not only academically but socially as well. I found all that and more at Northwood Hills – my child has thrived! She’s bright and challenged, she loves learning at this school and she has friends around the corner. NHE is all I could have asked for as a parent and I wouldn’t want to be any where else.

Our son initially attended a private Christian school. When we moved to Northwood Hills, we had every intention of leaving him there but we kept hearing how great NHE was and decided to give it a try. Our first priority was academic challenge and we got it. There are so many areas for children to go above and beyond in Reading, Science and Math. Being a minority, an important priority for us was diversity. We didn't want just racial diversity, but religious and socioeconomic as well, real world, and we got that. Lastly, our priority was socialization. Kids are friends with who they go to school with and our neighborhood school makes that easy. It doesn't hurt that families at NHE are some of the friendliest you'll meet. The PTA support and involvement are a huge bonus. We now have two children at NHE and both love their school.

In December of 2003, we moved to the neighborhood and decided to transfer our son during his 2nd grade from a Montessori school in East Dallas. We found out within one day how great NHE was with their well-trained educators, an extremely involved PTA, and a very challenging curriculum. Leaving White Rock Lake has been tough, but getting NHE as a trade off has been awesome!

We've been part of the NHE family since my son was in 3rd grade. He's now in 6th grade. The private school which he'd been attending from age 4 to 2nd grade closed abruptly, leaving us in the lurch. Luckily I had toured NHE prior to that unfortunate occurrence. During the tour I was impressed by the learning environment that was evident from walking the halls. We've never looked back. Our son loves having his friends nearby as well. The PTA and parents are terrific. Our principal is the best.
