Nance was the worst school my son and I ever encountered. My son experienced isolation and rejection from his peers due to ethnic differences. They grossly lack diversity and their teachers and staff, primarily Ms. Finley, are void of the essential skills needed to effectively ensure the particular needs

When I approached Ms. Finley with my concerns and suggestions about staff and student development in diversity, cultural awareness, she was resistant and uninterested. I pulled my son out before the end of the school year. It was the best decision I made. I would advise all parents of children of color to research and investigate a school carefully before putting your child in an unhealthy environment. Read less

I agree the growth of this area has been misjudged tremendously! I think the school district is behind in building needed schools. A school that is in its third year should not be getting portables. On comments about the office staff at Nance, you have to realize what these people have dealt with over

I have known some of them over 5 years and I could not respect them more! Everyone has a bad day now now and then, and the negative comments must have come from someone who caught them that day. Offer to help them! :) Read less

Having witnessed many situations where parents are upset by the rules and guidelines set forth by the district for the protection of all our children, it amazes me that someone would attack our school office staff for enforcing those rules. Our principle wouldn't have put in place individuals that weren't cheerful, helpful, encouraging, respectful, and completely devoted to our children. Perhaps if those unhappy parents will step back and look at the situation from another point of view they can see the situation from another view.:) Read less
