It is run as a dictatorship where parents have no rights over their own children. The way the children are treated by most staff and administrators is mentally abusive. If I had any other options my children would not go there.

Its a good school after all but there could be some differences and changes to be made. Love the NMS community!

Absolutely terrible. Was bullied, made fun of, ostracized but no one cared. They’re lucky I didn’t kill myself or anything

LOVE NMS! My second child will complete 8th grade this year. Both of my children have had positive experiences at NMS. Plenty of opportunity for students to get involved and such a caring staff!

Wonderful teachers, administration, programs, clubs, sports, and PTSA. The school building itself and lockers are a little dated and could use some sprucing up...

Love this school! Teachers are hard, but fair and they seem to really care. It like a private school education at a public school.

I came to this school for the years 2011-2012. The school was very unlikable for me. Most teachers assume and office staff assumed my learning differences and differences was a behavriol problem and would not be willing to understand me and instead, threaten me (with school stuff such as detention). If you get after school detention, they make you do 2 hours of custodian work. One time, an administrator pressured one of my teachers to disobey and break my 504. I was overall bullied by numerous teachers and pressured to get on the bus when it was okay for my mom to pick me up. An administrator even threatened to pick me up if I didn't move faster.

I have been at this school for 3 years, and there has been constant and serious bullying happening in the past 3-4 years. The students are also lacking and getting even lazier. The amount of respect they have against school property, students, and teachers are horrendous. Everybody is not treated as they should be because some people find theirselves to be higher than others at a perspective. The student population is also increasing, which means you get less help from teachers and an average class has 20-35 students. I have been very dissapointed with this school. Worst 3 years of my life.
