School Reviews
| 5 The school is amazing along with the teachers, their isn't much wrong with the school. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Juan |
| 1 Today was my son 8th grade promotion, it was very disappointing not to see none of my son teachers there. Good way to encourage the kids. Parents if your able to send your child to a different school where the staff actually care about the students, please do so. Then to have their certificated in a manila envelope. It was sad just to think they don't care. Way to go national city middle school staff. - Posted by Parent - Martha |
| 2 Not the best school I've seen way better charter schools. Recces in a garage! That's horrible, just like the food. The teachers are really good though, Very well-trained teachers. The toilets/ bathrooms too are really nasty. Every time I go in the restroom 99% of the time there is pee or poop on the ground. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Okie Dokie |
| 2 They make the school seem cool and fun / Exciting .
But once you get their its not worth it .
Do your kids a favor and dont send them here .
Plus , the teachers ( a few love to pick on the kids )
Especially the black ones . ( im not black tho .
Okay , anyways it would be better to take them to a school where its a higher income and with a safe enviroment . - Posted by Student/Alumni - zombi |
