Nixa as a school district goes above and beyond for their students, and the junior high is no exception. Junior high is arguably one of the tougher age groups to manage, teach, and guide, but the staff at NJH don’t just know what they signed up for, they live for it.

If you are looking at reviews to find the best school, then please look further. There is apparently an influx of students to Nixa due to the ratings. My family was one of the new transplants to this area If you are not from MO and are new, they will have your child tested, and “IF” there is a spot, then your child may get into an honors course. The spots are usually full of students already in the Nixa public schools. Your child will also be placed in whatever electives that are left open, such as Home Ec (FACS) or study hall. Your child will be targeted as an outsider from the kids who apparently are not nice to kids who aren’t a from here. I am not talking about ethnicity or orientation, which apparently is an issue as well, but kids are simply targeted for not being “from” this area. The school is underfunded, as are most MO schools, and it shows. If you look at the stats, it shows a high percentage of pass rates on things such as algebra tests, which is great. But considering that only 17% of the school even takes an algebra course, it isn’t great at all. Especially when chances are that your exceptionally gifted child won’t be one of them. They will give the speech on how crowded the school is, but that they can’t accommodate all new students into honors classes.I would definitely look at other schools, and if you have the means, other areas. Like other reviewers, we will be exiting this school.

Leave the Nixa school district. The Junior High was end game for my family. Teachers screaming at students, coaches playing Eminem rap during class, toxic administrators and extremely poor leadership. This school is literally a bully’s playground. Get away from Nixa schools.

Our family made the choice to move out of the Nixa district mainly due to our experience at the Junior High. This is a mismanaged district and has been rapidly declining over the past five years. Look elsewhere!!

excellent curriculum, like-minded teachers with the friendliness and comradery of a smaller community.
