Our child has been doing so well at NTES, with strong sense of self, love of learning and strong test scores to boot. My only hope is that the other parents keep their children moving into the next level of the public schools to keep the good work/scores of our children in the public schools. This will also help our property values folks!! Thanks Ms. Straus and staff!! Read less

This is a nice school with children who are eager to learn. Many of the students have behavioral issues, but most are good natured despite these setbacks. My problems with this school are that 1) the parent involvement is minimal and pathetic; and 2) the administration doesn't deal with discipline problems
