Nimitz is a very good school, and it has a lot of diversity. Many teachers are very caring and good.Special call out to Ms Lin from 3rd grade. She really provides a wonderful and growing environment for my kid.The classes are not too hard, and little to no homework. I wish the level is more challenging for students.There was an incident involving with another student. I think the Principal handled it reasonably. The PTA and school provides music & art classes. There is soccer & basketball team for upper class kids, which are nice!
