Frank Guzick Elementary School

Admittedly, I thought that Nova Academy (Dallas location) was a good school. Unfortunately, there are many areas that require improvement. The school has wonderful teachers, highly skilled with a strong desire to education children. However, the administration definitely is in need of being changed or receive the proper leadership training. The children at Nova Academy (Dallas location) are just like students all over, they are eager to learn and deserve the best high quality educational experiences.

We are new to Dallas and Texas, in general. I enrolled my child here because it is our "home school." My child dreaded going to school every day. His teacher only communicated with me when he had "an issue" with my child. He also went as far as saying "I never had a student like yours" and then I found out it was only his first year of teaching. Instead of giving my child more challenging work, they gave my child "extra work" just to stay busy. Then I find out that my child is 2 grades above grade level in reading and math by the test scores. The teacher acknowleged that my child's intellect in a meeting, but did nothing throughout the school year to nurture it. I have come to learn that you can choose the school your child goes to in Dallas ISD and we are definitely not staying here. Edna Rowe is going to be a montessori school next school year. I don't see how that is possible if they can't help children and funtion like a regular school.

La escuela de Urban Park es muy buena escuela por las actividades que tiene después de escuela y para los padres tiene las oportunidades de poder aprender clases como inglés y computación y a demás que tiene buena calidad de enseñada y de maestros y además con clases beligues dirigidos por su principal Lisa Falcón y gracias todo el staff de Urban Park para apoyar a la escuela.

Our family has been truly blessed to be part of this school community. My daughter has attended this private Christian-based school since Pre-K 4, and she is now in 9th grade — that alone speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in this school.From day one, we have been treated like family, not just another number. The staff, teachers, and leadership genuinely care about each student’s academic growth, character development, and spiritual foundation. They take the time to know the students personally and partner with parents every step of the way.The sense of community here is unmatched. The values being taught align with what we reinforce at home, and the love, encouragement, and structure my daughter receives have helped shape her into a confident, respectful, and well-rounded young lady.We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, faith, and consistency this school provides. If you’re looking for a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where your child is truly supported and valued, I cannot recommend this school enough.
