I have one son, that has graduated from Northeast and another one will this Spring. My youngest will graduated Northeast next Spring'08. If you are thinking about putting your child in a school that offers nothing but top notch education Norteast is the one. My kids attended this school from preschool until where they are now. A quality school with quality teachers. Please do not hesitate in getting your child enrolled in a school that is anything short of amazing from the secretary Mrs. Brenda Hamilton, to the principal, caferterial workers and janitors. I give Northeast an A in my book. Miss. Kathy Minor
