Close it and now. Horrible staff. Horrible leadership.

My daughter has thrived at Nickajack Elementary School, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. The dedicated teachers create a warm, nurturing environment where she feels valued and supported. The staff genuinely cares about each child's academic progress and personal development, taking time to understand individual learning styles and needs.I've been impressed by the variety of after-school programs available. My daughter has participated in music, art, cheerleading, and martial arts. The STEAM nights have also been a highlight for our family. These events bring parents and students together for hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and math activities that spark curiosity and make learning fun.The recent school renovation has made a noticeable difference as well. The updated facilities provide a modern, welcoming space that enhances the learning experience. It's clear the community is invested in giving these students the best possible environment.Nickajack Elementary fosters a strong sense of community with engaged parents and welcoming administrators who maintain open communication. My daughter is excited to go to school each day, and that says everything.

I can't say enough good things about St. Benedict's. Our daughter has been at the school for 2 years (as a 3 and 4-year old), and she has just thrived. She comes home telling us the new Spanish words she's learned. She's known by not only her teachers but also the administrators. It's clear that there's not only knowledge but also love and faith across the curriculum and school culture. Just today, our daughter came home saying she loved school and couldn't wait to go back tomorrow. I'm not sure what else a parent or child could want from an education.
