Both of my children attended Nicoloff this past year and I have to say it was a great experience. The teachers and staff overall are great, they tend to remember kids by name and by what special needs they need. I volunteer a lot and I noticed first-hand all the Care that the faculty and staff have for these students. Both my kids have been home-schooled by me before so making the transition to a public school was a difficult decision but I'm glad that Nicoloff was the school that we went to. We are a military family so it is very difficult having to move around and our kids having to make new friends. Nicoloff gave us specific information to my children's needs informing us of military family help in the community . Volunteering is something that I love to do there because they are very welcoming. Thank you Nicoloff for All you do for your students!

Teachers are excellent, caring and community oriented. The STEAM program is excellent and gives kids the opportunity to think critically and develop the skills necessary to become a responsible global citizen. The AVID program exposes kids early on to a variety of 4 year universities and promotes a school-wide college going culture. SOM also recently received the 2015 CA Gold Ribbon award and a Title 1 academic achievement award for their excellent programs. Only 4% of CA schools can claim such high accolades. Southwest Middle School is truly an innovative and unique place to grow and learn!

Southwest high school may be though to be a "underdog" school but it is not, because its the best school. It may not have the best infrastructure or very fancy equipment yet it has some thing better: safe and tranquil environment, caring teacher and student that will provide the best high school experience. remember once a raider always a raider.
