I think this is a very good school. But students should get more recognition so they can feel the need to do better.

It is a very safe environment. My daughter had excelled academically and socially at Milton. She came from a different school where she didn't want to go to school.. At Milton she made friends and is excited to go to school everyday. The staff is friendly and I have yet to see any kid act out or bully anyone. So far it has been a great experience and look forward to another school year at Milton.PS. This is not the west side to say that kids act out or bully anyone. And my daughter does not come from a broken home.

Nixon High School has a horrid academic curriculum. For example, the AP U.S. History Class is foregoing their final exam and is opting instead to decorate a cereal box in lieu of an examination to test the students' knowledge of the subject. In my opinion, this is very juvenile on behalf of the teacher, and not contributive in the least to an advanced placement course. Nixon High also has an assistant principal who is extremely rude and combative to parents who question the school's methodology. In particular, the student registration and course scheduling system that Nixon High School uses is antiquated at best, and puts an unnecessary burden on both parents and students. Waiting in line for hours to register for high school classes has practically been eliminated in other areas of the nation, but this school district is clinging to doing things the same way they always have, which results in students not being placed into the classes they need in order to graduate, and instead being placed into electives, or wherever there is a space available.In conclusion, Nixon High is an overall poor quality school, not at all suitable to students who show any type of want for a diverse education or an accellerated course of study.
