I don't understand why there are the negative reviews on here. So I will leave a positive review…read more My daughter is just about to complete kindergarten and her first year there at NECA. The year started with one teacher who a few months in was moved to another classroom and they brought in her current teacher Mrs. James, she is the nicest and friendliest she cares for the students and challenges them to be successful and reach their potential. I was surprised to my daughter getting homework but that has been a blessing in disguise. We enjoy helping our daughter every night with her assignments it helps her learn more and shows her we are there for her in her growth (spiritually and academically). Mr. Carlos is great as well, prior to the start of the school year we took the time to visit with a few schools and meet with the principals and try to decide which school would be best for our daughter. He met with us and gave us a tour of the campus. This was the only school our daughter liked and that we agreed upon mutually. The culture at this school is great, they show the students about the foundations of the Bible and living a righteous life. I don't believe this should fall solely upon the school to implement these core values. It really falls upon us as parents. However, the school and their staff really do an awesome job of teaching this to the students. The school has several activities throughout the school year that are open invitation to the parent if they wish to opt into attending or lending a hand. I highly recommend if you can do it, my wife and I did that many times and we really enjoyed it not to mention our daughter enjoyed us being there as well. Most recently we went to the zoo which was a lot of fun. We really look forward to the upcoming school year and all the fun activities. Please if you are considering this school do not go solely based on the negative reviews, I personally believe them to be biased. This school and it's teachers / staff are all amazing! If you have any doubts reach out to them for clarification. You will see they are a Godsend!

I don't have kids. I'm not smart enough to be enrolled in Elementary School, so I have no idea what's going on here. But when it's time for the big votes, this place is walking distance from my house. So 5 stars for location, 5 stars for providing education to young Americans, 5 stars for hosting elections allowing us all to fairly and freely take part in our most sacred of civic duties!

This 23 million dollar school is in its 3rd year of operation. The facility is nice but the grounds…read morekeeping has room for improvement. The front desk staff gives the school a good image. There is a new principal in her first year at the school. She has a different approach from the prior administration. I admire both and we will see what is the better leadership style. The academics are taught and some teachers go above and beyond. Some teachers profess to care about the students but actions seem to be often mismatched. Sometimes programs get discontinued and no explanation is given-- such as no science fair this year, not a continued emphasis and competition among grade level for the best rate of attendance, the afterschool groups don't seem to be emphasized as much as they were the last two years, although the school has a school uniform, the staff and teachers need a uniform as evidenced by the attire of some of the staff. I have seen faculty with sneakers untied. The parents are not too involved as shown by no PTA. The faculty has a nice, paved parking lot but many choose to park parallel on side streets obscuring vision. The dismissal procedure is utter chaos and quite dangerous with no observed security measures and there is no crosswalk guards. Tutoring is available and snacks are provided for students who attend the tutoring sessions. Parent conferences have to be short like 5 minutes due to the large ratio of students per certified teacher. When the school got a waiver for classroom size, I doubt if parents were notified as TEA recommends. I look pretty closely at my child's backpack and I did not see a letter giving information of the classroom students exceeding 22. There is a choir teacher and an orchestra teacher this current year and both seem invested in their programs. The art teacher is stellar. There are often delayed announcements such as when photos will be taken. Each week there seems to be a least one day that students don't have to wear the school uniform. The parent engagement liaison is exceptional and is good to pass on information. This school is having its growing pains and the school's overall report card grade for 22-23 was dismal. Educators can do a good job and results can remain undesirable if there is not the parental reinforcement and I believe that Coach Archie Duran does not have a good handhold with the parents.

All the teachers were great. The best I had were Mrs. Solo (now retired) and Mrs. Ereng. The school itself had many clubs and activities that you could join such as: student council, gay straight alliance, a video game club, yearbook, newspaper, band, orchestra, theatre, and many sports teams. When I got cancer my senior year, they were also very helpful in getting me what I needed and support so that I could still graduate with my class! I will forever be grateful that I was able to attend such a great school! #Classof2014
