This Is my second year at NU and I absolutely love working here. The teaching staff is dedicated to not only the academic growth of students but also the mental well-being.

I am a previous student who was pulled from this school during my 8th grade year. I had 4 F's, and a math teacher who was extremely short tempered and had an obvious dislike to me over others. (Harsher punishments, etc.)However, the final straw was when said teacher put me outside for a total of 53 minutes in the sun for a minor offense. (Said offense being "not being on task," when she only said it was basically free time, and "disrupting class," which was laughing to myself about a joke from two years ago that I happened to remember.) She has always disliked me, punishing me more than other students even if my peers were behaving worse than me. She also considers herself better than other teachers.

I have received so much support from Scotten school, My son has an IEP and the staff has really worked with us and have been willing to accommodate my familys needs and have been open minded and caring in the process. I have had a unique situation and I felt we have became a team in support of my son. My son is very happy at school and feels excited to tell me about the new things he learns and he is fully integrated with his peers and is learning at his pace with positive encouragement from the entire staff. Classrooms can only cover so much and I feel that working with my son in the evening on the lessons he brings home from that day help me understand what they are doing at school currently . It bridges the gap for me and I find it helpful to review the lesson before doing our homework. I am very pleased
