We're just here for the playground…read more Which is a great one: several play areas, a few benches and picnic tables for the grownups, trees and greenspace, loads of different things to do. Slides, swings, unusual things to play on. Baby K absolutely loved it. Access from the neighborhood as well as the school parking lot.

Although I have a personal background serving Special Ed. High School students for a number of…read moreyears, I must admit that the staff I met from the principal to the 3rd grade teachers exemplified what we want to see shaping our youth. By their positive and supportive actions with their students, teachers demonstrated a loving, caring, and nurturing model for individual and groups of students. As an educator, I witnessed teachers who gave of themselves to help build the character and moral fiber of their students. Students responded to the model set for them in that they we're recognized and awarded for "Good Citizenship" (how supportive kind, and encouraging they were to each other on a day-to-day basis). Parental involvement in children's education is encouraged by reading with their child at least 20 mins. a night and providing opportunities for children to continue reading on their own. A child's education in school is stressed as very important to success. Therefore, even if a child only attends school half a day because of a doctor's appointment Etc., it is important that they be in school the other half of that day. I was impressed by the rich learning environment and the positive responsiveness of the children I observed. In keeping with the importance of reading, I was encouraged that they were having a Book Fair while we were there which then carried over into the next day. Needless to say, I added to the support of the school and the children in our home by participating greatly in the Book Fair. I was told that they will provide another Book Fair next February. The school is in need of people who would be willing to volunteer their time and services to help in the Book Fair or just to assist teachers in the classroom.

This review is only for the playground…read more A big play area, with several structures and sets of swings, climbing equipment, etc. Spread all along the back of the school, in raised areas with mulch. And: benches. Great for parents, uncommon at school playgrounds. Lots of interesting things to play on, including a firetruck. Baby K loved it.

Review for the playground only!…read more Came on a beautiful spring day, after school. Lots of kids on the playground- but it's so big it wasn't crowded. There are two playsets, one for smaller kids and one bigger. Plus, other areas: climbing stuff, music, swings, exercise equipment, etc. Loads to do. Only a few benches for tired adults, but that's the norm at schools. Beautifully kept grounds and equipment. Parking is not very close. Baby K loved it and we will be back.

The principal stood out front with the teachers, greeting the wee, to not so wee, ones. It had a very welcoming atmosphere.

As a parent who spent quite a bit of money on this school, I was very disappointed in the…read moreacademics. The teachers acted as if they didn't care, didn't really provide direction and leadership to the students or know how to handle the students. The teacher turnover is quite high. We were there only two years and we witnessed 8 teachers leave for better places. With the new superintendent coming in, she fired over 80% of the staff. As a parent, when we send emails or voicemails to talk to the teacher about our child, they would ignore our emails & calls to the point we had to go to the Principal, Mr. Fluhart who really didn't do anything. They started a new learning model which is project based but the teachers do not know how to implement it & the kids are confused. I feel my child took a step back with the bad teaching & leadership academically. I would not recommend spending your money to send your child to this school. I was very disappointed. My child socially enjoyed the school but academically, the teachers and the administration did not care and it is going to show on their test scores with the state. Save your money and send your child elsewhere!!!!

Review for the playground only!…read more Set in the middle of the NA school campus, this is a huge playground, really two huge ones. Loads of different things to do, for all ages. Parking is a bit far away, but there are two big shelters in the middle for parents, with big fans in the ceiling- very cool on a hot day. No shade on the playgrounds themselves, and the shelters are a bit far from the playgrounds, but still handy. Baby K had a blast. Lots of new equipment, many things to spark the imagination.

I seem to always feel like an "Outsider", when substitute teaching here. There's a rather…read morenoticeable thin film of Pretentiousness when on their (what they call) Campus. The faculty seems polite, but unfortunately it's extremely hard to get to know them, since it is so spread out, and multiple buildings. It's a pretty building layout and design, but not too practical. Why? you ask. There are 6 buildings, all with different subject matters, dispersed, thus you have to travel a lot from building to building. Honestly, it thoroughly causes confusion - the buildings all look alike, brick, white pillars, a grassy quad separating the buildings. With all the money floating around New Albany, the district is able to offer unique elective classes that you won't find in many central Ohio school districts - a giant plus! Subbing jobs don't come up too often for the high school, so I take jobs here only if no other options are available.
