"This is a very GOOD school and the teachers are super dedicate with the students. My child loved it..."

"Many of the teachers seem stressed and hurried as well as the principal. Unless the parents can be really involved, kids will have to learn how to step up, speak up and be responsible for their own needs."

"The staff at this school is marginal at best, focus is on standardized tests as opposed to actual learning, uncooperative and unfriendly teachers who are defensive when queried on lesson plans/learning events. I would not recommend this school."

"We moved here midway through the year last year (2011 military move) and have been pleased with the education our children are receiving at NFS. All children are excited to go to school, the staff are very approachable and kind, and if there is a problem, are quick to address it. We have 2 children that had needs to be addressed (speech and advanced classes) and both were handled beautifully. I recommend this school!"
