This school doesn’t take kindly to step parents! The principal and specific teachers have been extremely rude and has caused LOTS of issues after gaining custody of the child. A very judgmental group of “adults”. And a lack of curriculum for children behind or falling behind. I would NOT recommend this school to any family… especially a blended family.

My child goes to this school. I am looking to move ASAP. They are overly focused on test scores. Not enough recess. Very unkind. Kids are violent with each other and teachers sweep it under the rug. Teachers don’t receive training or support and take it out on disabled kids.

We moved prior to my daughter starting kindergarten specifically so she would be able to attend Neale. The staff is great and there is a focus on using technology in the classroom. I can't say enough about this great school.

Both of my children went through Neale School. It is a wonderful place for students. Academic achievement is delivered through teamwork between the student, teacher and parent. All students are encouraged to go outside of comfort zones to further their development and prepare them for middle school. Test scores are very high. I recommend this school to anyone with elementary aged children.

I think this is a wonderful school. My daughter attended from first grade to sixth and she loved going to school. Now my son attends there and he also loves it. The principal and teachers are great. I couldn't ask for a better school for my children.

I had big problems with one of the teachers there when my child was in the 1st grade. The teacher had no patients with my child and considered my child ( a problem child). She only liked to work with the children that didn't have problems learning. As a result of her my child is fine. My child was tested and the tests came back above average! I just hoped that the teacher seen those test results. J.M you will never teach any of my children again!!!! Not everyone is made out to be a teacher and this woman isn't!!!!

The staff is the best, beginning with the principal.They are caring, thoughtful, educated, wise people. They are willing to help with any situation that concerns the children. They are organized with many activites that benefit the children and follow through with their projects.
