There are many dedicated and great teachers at Ned, but also a few really poor ones. I would appreciate the principal being more aggressive in weeding out some teachers who are clearly not up to the task. On a positive note, the small classrooms and very open athletics (anyone and everyone is welcome

In addition, the whole student body at Ned seems very respectful to each other. Not as many cliques or bullies as other schools. Even though the quality of athletics or band can be poor due to the small size of the school vs. the other schools they compete against, the students are very supportive of each other, even in defeat, which is GREAT to see. High points: English, Sciences, Ski Team (alpine and cross country), girls athletics. Read less

I am so disappointed at the quality of education my child receives at this school. My son came in at 6th grade as a Talented and Gifted student and is so now so bored and his love of learning is eroding away. I do not recommend this school to anyone.

My son began attending school at Nederland when he started seventh grade. He loves it there, and moving to a small community school has been the best thing I have ever done for him. Due to the fact that Ned is a small school, my son has the opportunity to play football even though he is not first string

The experience for him has been invaluable. On another note, he is excelling academically. As a junior, he has already taken three college courses, and he plans on taking more next year. The parent involvement at Nederland is fairly good, but it would be nice to see more of it.I would recommend Ned for that small school experience. Read less
