id like to start off with saying how i enjoy how people can be themselves here. however, it gets so out of hand. every curve you make in this school, someone will try to make you trans, gay, or just hate everyone. i understand the gay club is for those to feel welcomed, but instead it make those feel more empowered. if you aren't democratic in this school, you'll get shamed, framed for something stupid, and just lose people left and right. not to mention, the teaching??? my math teacher teaches more about his religious beliefs than math, and other teachers have threatened to turn classes into concepts due to students "not being smart enough." you cannot say that to a student with a learning brain, theyll think you're calling them beyond stupid. and as for teaching about religion as a math teacher, that's pure ignorance because it makes those who are not religious feel unwelcomed. the school really needs to do something about staff and students because i haven't seen one special needs kid speak to another student that isn't in their group. i also dislike how little diversity there is.

So far, the experience has been great! You can tell that the educators in the school love what they do for students. They truly want to make a difference.

NExA is such an incredible school. I think the poor rating is based mostly off of the socioeconomic status of the surrounding area. But the inclusivity at NExA is one of the many things that make it so great. This is a title 1 school and it’s one of the few schools that accommodate students with special needs. The staff and administration are all so caring and truly take the time to get to know every single student. NExA truly feels like a family to us. I’d also add that their focus on Project-Based-Learning makes them uniquely valuable to the community.As for the parking lot, follow the arrows and you’ll be fine.
