South Memorial Elementary School

Strength: The mathematics education was first rate; we were often a full year ahead of local public school students academically. Weakness: Discipline was wholly unfair to the boys. As a girl, I only had to sit on a hallway bench outside of Father Bob's office for several minutes to reflect on my mistakes (mostly fidgeting a lot in class). Making the very same mistakes that I did, my brother and a few other boys were read the riot act and were punished inside the office. Several of the nuns acknowledged the unfairness of punishments for boys but seemed unwilling to point it out the associate pastor. But again, at least the academics at St. Joe's were truly first rate.

We pulled our daughter from the local public school as we saw her interest in school and overall demeanor on the decline. She needed to be challenged and she needed to be in an environment that allowed her to thrive.We are in year 3 at NSCS and we cannot say enough about this school and the community. Seeing our daughter love school and spend summers counting down the days to go back has been the confirmation we needed as parents. She is thriving in school and this flows over into her personal life. She is challenged in class and has been led by a group of teachers and staff who love what they do and want the best for your child.If you are looking into NSCS, take the tour. Ask for parent referrals and know that the investment in your child is worth it.

As a former actual student who graduated this LGBTQIA WOKE indoctrination center. Can affirm they lack the ability to teach children the NECESSARY information needed for high school. Putting most children behind when they graduate. The staff is caring but not about the work, about the idea of work. This is how you make liberals who don't think on their own. They place feelings above facts they put a higher price on learning abstract things than NEEDED things like math and science. Learning to sing and dance and draw is a MAJOR part of the curriculum. Yet not helpful in high school or life. 5-8th graders are subject to baby sitting duties and told it helps them learn by babysitting the younger students. Not having enough staff at any time is a common theme. Children with behavioral issues are NEVER separated from the other children. Do not send your kids here..
