My children excel at NES. Most of the teachers are very encouraging. However, the children are very undisciplined compared to other schools my children have attended. Often the paperwork sent home to the parents, reads as if it were written my an average elementary school student. The choice for the

While she may have the education and experience, she does not have the personality needed to be a principal, nor is she even an average leader. The facilities are very untidy, and the parent pick up system is horrendous! I am currently seeking other options for my children. Read less

I am so disappointed in Niota Elementary. The teachers and faculty do not care about the kids. If a child gets picked on and you alert the school, they say they will look into it but they don't and then they label your child as the troublemaker! The kids have no playground to play on. They have to

This has got to be the most unfriendly school I have ever been in. Not only are there problems with the school, but if you bring something up, they take it out on your children. Confidentiality is also a major problem. You go to the principle or assistant principle with a problem and they drill your

I could write for hours about Niota school and it would not be good things. All I can say is this school is not one I would tell people to send their children to. I have had nothing but problem with the school. I would not tell anyone to send their kids there, ever.
