My daughter has attended NWR schools for 8 years now. When we were looking to buy a house I refused to look anywhere but this school district. They have always addressed problems within a timely manner and counselors have always been helpful when needed. When my daughter was in 4th grade I had to call

The office staff have always been nice, helpful, and considerate. I value the strict rules and the fact that students are held responsible for their actions. With a master's degree and career field working with children and adolescents with mental health and behavior issues I understand the problems faced by school staff and officials. Read less

My son is in his second year at NWRMS. He loves his school. Academically he is doing great. What I dont like is the principles and the office staff. The principles will not address true behavior problems with some of the students. If they send them to the alternative school it makes them look bad. So

As a parent I have never been asked to do anything and have always gotten the impression that involvement is not wanted. The teachers they have there are great and do care about their students, it would just be easier on them if they had the support of the principles when it comes to dealing with the thugs that they do have there.

This school was the worst. I feel sorry for any child that gets thrown into the masses their. Too large, too disorderly, and entirely too hard to get any assistance when needed. The principals do not want parent involvement, unless its a money donation.

We moved into this school district because of its excellent educational reputation. The boys have gotten involved in extra-curricular activities and have made lots of friends. They have been happier here than at any other school they ever attended. We have been in this district for 6 years now and intend

Individual conferences are easy to arrange with teachers, counselors, or principals. I have never had a concern that was not immediately addressed. Discipline is fair and appropriate. The homework level is reasonable. Even the bus drivers are friendly and helpful. When my son was in second grade and got on the wrong bus to come home because of a number mix-up on our part, the drivers took care of him and made arrangements to get him home safely. Read less

So far, I have run in to obstacles at the school. Should a parent want discipline from an administrator from this school, you can hang it up. Don't expect anything but the run around when asking for help either.

They have good academics, but that's as far as it goes. There is no parent participation in PTO meetings, the only people to show up are the ones on the board. The teachers don't even show up except for the teacher representative (I thought it was called PTO, not PO). While in the 5th grade, my child

Academically a good school. Many of the support staff working in the offices do not seem to enjoy their work and are less than halpful and not friendly. Workers in the office are not aware of school policies and processes. Very unorganized.

I actually go to this school. I'm in eighth grade and none of what the rates say are true. The principal has no activity other than telling students to pull up their pants or to pull down their shirts. Truthfully, our principal doesn't know his students. We have no athletic activities. Sixth grade students
