Inappropriate Conduct by School Bus DriverDear Principal'sI am writing to formally express my serious concern regarding an incident involving one of your school bus drivers who, on August 29th, 2025, physically and verbally mistreated my child, I.R a student in pre k at seele elementary.According to my child, the driver “grabbed them roughly by the arm, yelled at them in an aggressive manner. This behavior is deeply troubling and completely unacceptable for anyone entrusted with the care and transportation of students.As a parent, I expect the highest standard of professionalism, patience, and safety from school staff — especially those in direct contact with children on a daily basis. This incident has not only shaken my child but has caused great concern for our family.I respectfully request that this situation be taken seriously and investigated immediately. Specifically, I ask the school and transportation department to:Review any available bus surveillance footage from bus 31 on August 29th, 2025.Interview any witnesses, including other students who may have been present.Provide a written response regarding what actions will be taken following this report.Furthermore, I would like to request that my child not be placed in direct contact with this bus driver while this matter is being reviewed. Their emotional and physical safety must be a priority.Please confirm receipt of this letter and let me know the next steps in the investigation process. I am prepared to escalate this matter if necessary, but I hope we can resolve this through a responsible and professional approach.SincerelySteven robinson September 2, 2025

Disappointing...I had heard great things about this school upon moving to the area. We had a great experience in preschool where I think the school really shines. However, in the K-5 grades it leaves something to be desired and can be seen in the schools population drop off where the classes go from full preschool down to as little as 3 kids in upper grades. There is high teacher turn over which is a huge red flag and the administration is very disorganized. There are severe communication issues and the teachers are given no autonomy in their own classrooms. I heard that 3 or 4 years ago it was the place to send your kids if you wanted a non-religious private school option. I hate to write an unfavorable review, but the school's philosophy is hit or miss depending on the class/grade/teacher, and is not what it used to be, according to multiple longtime parents I consulted with before leaving the school. Unfortunately, we made the difficult choice to remove our child from the school along with a multitude of other families at the time who were also dissatisfied. Again, preschool seems to be the area of best practice for this school and I would send my child there again for that age-group as there are several fantastic preschool teachers.

We have attended NBCA for 2 years and have loved it. Teachers and staff love the kiddos, they are taught accurate biblical teachings, and the smaller classroom sizes allow my children to get the attention they need to succeed.
