My husband and I are both NV alumni. Our child is currently enrolled, however we are seeking an alternative source of education. Our child is gifted academically and it's very discouraging to see him so bored in the classroom. He is blatantly discouraged from "trying too hard". I've been repeatedly asked by the teacher to stop teaching him extras at home because we need to keep all the kids in the classroom at the same level. There is such a high emphasis on sports, academics are an after thought. We do have amazing athletes, but at what cost? I've witnessed first hand athletes being "passed" in the classroom and not being held to the same standard as the rest of the class. (Often not required to complete work because they're "tired" or "stressed" because of an upcoming game.) I've watched these same children flounder and fail in college because they weren't prepared. Athletic programs are important, but academics should have a higher priority. For the success and growth of our own child, it's imperative we find a different school.
