This school worsened my mental health. Older PARAs were cruel bullies to every student they disliked, showed shameless favor toward those they liked, were especially mean to those who already had an existing trauma, and staff who were really friendly could not do anything about it and the rest did not notice or care. I was one of those students and I would definitely recommend that you do not send your children here. I learned from other Hopkins High alumni that this school is known for its racism despite its low efforts to be diverse, and from a backward perspective, it was all performative. Avoid this school at all costs. You'd be better off sending your kids to get educated in prison.

NMS is a truly amazing school with so many opportunities for students of all different cultures. There is a program where students take half their classes in Spanish, as well as two languages students can take: beginner and intermediate Spanish, beginner and intermediate French. There is an advanced math course that jumps up to two grades, and the learning style is a way that fits all students needs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!

We are in the process of pulling all three of our children out of Alice Smith (after loving the school under Mrs. D). Our experience with the new principal and leadership has been horrible and incredibly disappointing. We are so sad to have experienced how much things have changed. Special education students in particular will not have their needs met. Raising our concerns a multitude of times with leadership was met with apathy and/or avoidance.
