Hello! I was a student at NECA and i would like to share my personal experience. Now i don't mean to be rude or un factual in ANY way, so im sharing this with the trueness of my heart. I was expelled from this school. Other people have different opinions on whether i should have been expelled or not. I was expelled for posting online about the schools rules and for having problems with my sexuality. Now anyone could have different opinions about it. Im not complaining about that. I want to share how i was treated and how they made me feel. One Tuesday, during snack time, i was pulled into the office by the principal, the vice principal, and the middle and high school supervisor. When i stepped in, i kind of had an idea what it was. They sat me down and started telling me why i was in trouble. I was upset with myself, i knew what i had did wrong. The principal told me many things, they hurt my feelings but i thought it was normal he was saying these things. He told me that i was a predator. He told me that i was making my best friend, thats a girl, more masculine, if you'd ask anyone else they wouldn't agree with him. He told me that i wasn't really Christian because of what i struggle with. He told me that i was a disappointment to my mother. I was so hurt i couldn't speak clearly. I didn't even want to defend myself. Instead of being scared to face my mother, she was all i wanted in that moment. I felt dehumanized. He called me a predator and I've never done anything to live up to that word. A predator is "a person who ruthlessly exploits others." Im just a teenager confused with life. Ive never purposefully with bad intentions wanted to lead someone into a bad decision. Im not saying i didn't do anything wrong. I made a mistake. I admit that, i did admit that to him. He sat me down in the office and told me he didn't want me to interact with any of the students. I respected that, i didn't speak to any students. I went for my work and did it while i waited for my mom to come. When she came I immediately told her what he called me and how i was hurt. My mom is not one of those who will immediately take my side. She loves me and will defend me but she knows when i need to be punished. She walked in and had the meeting. I was anxious, i didn't know what he would say about me again. Except something was different. He didn't say those things about me, he was acting different with my mom in the room. When my mother asked him about what he said. He didn't confirm or deny, he switched the subject. Before the meeting several parents, students, and even teachers told me and my mother that the supervisor was speaking about my sexuality to another student. The student themself came up to me and told me. My mother confronted her and she immediately denied and the principal backed her up. i believed her, maybe it was just a misunderstanding. I later found out she still spoke about me and my personal situation with others. After a long meeting they told me i was expelled. Before leaving they told me they loved me, but in that moment i felt nothing but pain. I thought maybe it was just me being selfish and that i deserved it. This school has caused me so much stress, anxiety, and even depression at times. I cried forever. You could ask my mother. Ive never felt so torn down by a word, "predator." I didn't know why something that i was struggling with dehumanized me and made people only see me as a "predator." He couldn't describe me any differently in that moment. I felt horrible. After that experience, the reason i got expelled spread quickly, through staff, parents, and students. What hurts me so much is that parents spread the story and switched it up among each other, and now im not allowed to hang out with my friends. I understand that parents want to protect their children and i cant do anything about it, but those are my friends i never spoke to them about my personal situation. I don't know why a single situation changed me into one thing. A "predator." I hear so many more things from people, like what is said about me. I was only seen as a predator. Nothing else. It made me feel like i wasn't a human. They judged me for something i couldn't control, something i was struggling with. They offered help, i took it, and they never helped me. Rather, they judged me. Im writing this to show everyone what i had to experience and why i believe that no kid should have to experience what i experienced there. I have my own personal relationship with God and i was told that i wasn't a real Christian because of how they perceived me, the sin i struggled with. I hope God blesses this school so no one goes through what i went through. I wish nothing but the best but i also hope that if this school isn't going to change, that you don't send your children here. read more

I used to go to this school back in 2022 to 2024 and the teachers who I will point out were so rude and say so much behind your back. For one Fadi Carlos your a horrible pastor and js the fakes person ever so many people trusted you but you would tell other staff our problems and the situations we were going through,which was so messed up because it messed with us a lot of us didn't know what to do because we felt so trapped you treat us like we're the worst kids ever but it's you and some other staff. And the second person I've had a horrible experience in that school was Mr. Keys I used to have so much hate for the dude I don't know how many times I was cursed out by him. He was honestly so rude and fake he was kind to others but when it came to me I was always in trouble and got in-school suspension for things that he did not see but assumed since he had heard to from other students. This school is full of fake and untrustworthy staff they've made numerous students have suicidal thoughts for just being kids they made all of us feel like we were in the wrong for making small mistakes that can just be learned from those mistakes rather than be pushed away not just from students but from the staff too. And the learning at this school honestly they don't do work nothing at all when I was in 8th grade I was looking at books in English and they weren't even 8th grader books they were 6th grader book I'm not blaming the teacher I'm blaming the school for being behind on school academics, on they're page it said that they're a grade up from a public school when really they're a grade down from public school and most of the time during my last year I did nothing I was laying around doing absolutely nothing.The teachers didn't do work my history teacher said "it's not like your gonna be doing history in the future " so we didn't do anything that year for history. The day I left that school I stayed with my sister to help with nursery but overtime we were treated poorly for sometimes not being able to make but thinks happen but this school makes you think it's the end of the world. Honestly us students were more there for each other than the pastor himself we listened to each other and Carlos mocked us, yelled at us, threatened us, and would just blow us off. The last thing I have to say about this school is that the preaching is about his personal life with the Bible together you won't notice it at first but overtime you can hear his words blaming us for the problems and being very very persistent on getting money since they say that money is "devils papers" yet Carlos took all the money people have give For The School but instead this man baby decides to buy his truck rims and that was around 500 dollars that could of being for books or other resources but instead he makes a bold decision and just buys rims. I honestly have more information about this entire school and staff but I'm saying my experience and not others experiences. If Carlos is reading this you left scars that haven't gone away but you still took the love of Jesus out of me I hope you go to hell considering you told us "I'm going to heaven your probably going to hell" and I hope god makes you remember what you put us all through. read more

Please do not bring your child/ children to this school. The Principal has favoritism if your child is not one of them he will call them names, ignore them, and accuse them of things they did not do. The Teachers at this school I'm not saying all of them but some of them will talk about your child to each other or to other students. Then when those Teachers are confronted they will deny. This school is not Accredited and will claim they are, so if you decide to pull your child out once they have completed some grades or a grade in high school they will not get their credits in a regular high school. Also a lot of the students that come here are confused and if your child is not liked they will get blamed for making others confused and will be called names by the Principal. read more

My son graduated from this school and my daughter still attends. I know my kids are safe at school. Bullying happens everywhere but here it rarely occurs and when it does it is addressed immediately and does not continue. I believe they are getting a better education than any public school could give and more one on one time between teacher and child because of much smaller classes. My daughter will most likely graduate from this school as well. read more

Think twice about sending your children to this school. The "teachers" are not certified. You can check for yourself by entering a teachers name here: https://tealprod.tea.state.tx.us/ECOS-External/EcosOnline/VirtCert. Most of the teachers do not have a college degree. You are paying for an unqualified person to teach your child, but they will not tell you that. read more
