"I am proud to say that my daughter goes to North Topsail. She is currently enrolled in the first grade, but has been tested to be reading on a fifth grade level. I am overwhelmed by the support and encouragement given to my daughter, and how her teachers work so hard to keep her challenged at her level. The staff and teachers have been dealt a real blow with the increase in student population in the last few years and you wouldn't be able to tell from looking in a classroom. The teachers work so well at grouping the children according to their needs and making sure that everyone can succeed. I have volunteered my time in the classroom as often as I could and am happy to say that I'm fully pleased with the parent and teacher involvement with the students."

"I was very happy with my daughters education and experience at NTES during her kindergarten year. I thought her teachers were great, they were supposrtive, encouraging, and handled their students calmly and respectfully. (I thought) they were able to work with all the students academic levels, and those students who were progressing faster were encouraged to help their classmates which I thought was great. The only real disappoinments i had were the lack of an art room, a music room and computer labs due to overcrowding."

"I have a special needs child at NTES, It has been a very long a tuff year. The teachers at the school are very unclear on what a IEP is and what part they play in helping the child a success. When you have a teacher that doesn't want to take the time to help the child because she is over worked in the class. There is a problem. The PTA board needs new memebers. Not just people in the intercircle. The meetings need to more professonal and informative. As far as safety at the school that is a big issue. When you are letting your child off at the car drop off and there is no teacher and children fighting and hold the door where others can't get in. In front of the school there are 3 or 4 teacher just standing there. There are major concerns."

"I have 2 children attending NTES and could not be happier. Their teachers are fantastic and do an excellent job. I have been very pleased with the amount of individual attention the children receive from these dedicated teachers, particularly as class size has increased. A situation the county is working to rectify. The school is a very close community with the entire staff encouraging and nurturing our children as they move through the grades. They make a point to remember and recognize them each day. As parents, we have always been welcome and encouraged to be in the school, resulting in a closer relationship with teachers and the administration. I do wish there were more funds available for a full-time art teacher and a computer teacher, but praise the teachers for incorporating the missing elements into their lessons. Our children are receiving an excellent education and a wonderful experience."
