The first week my son was there the teacher released him without identifying his parent. He was lost for 15 minutes. Thankfully we found him. I spoke to the principal and she was absolutely no help. The teacher said he just tells the kids to go home. These are 2nd graders mind you. My son was there a little over a week. I complained the district and they changed the policy until my child left and back to the same ole foolery. Do not take your children to this school.

The Performing and Fine Arts Academy, serving grades 6-12, offers a unique balance of rigorous…read moreacademic instruction and intensive instruction in the performing and fine arts. Areas of artistic training range from drama, dance, music and the fine arts to stagecraft and computer animation. In addition to being named a National School of Distinction in the Performing and Fine Arts, The Performing and Fine Arts Academy has been regularly recognized in the local community through Elly (recognizing outstanding theatre in the Sacramento area) nominations and awards, participation in the Jammies (music recognition program for students), and many other events. All of our students are taught by arts teachers who continue to be professional practicing artists in the community, allowing students to learn not only the technical aspects of artistic expression, but also what it is like to be a professional practicing artist. Academically, our students excel. Our academic teachers are highly trained and our courses are rigorous. Even with the rigor of our courses, the Academy routinely has over 70% of its students on the honor roll. Many high school seniors go on to prestigious four year universities and art schools.

As a parent of an autistic child, I had concerns about this school environment from the beginning,…read moreparticularly regarding structure, support, student behavior, and how students with disabilities are treated socially and emotionally. Recently, my son reported repeated teasing from another student involving comments about him being autistic. He also shared that he informed staff previously and felt the issue was not addressed. After a separate recess incident involving another student and a basketball being thrown hard enough to hurt him, I felt it was important to advocate more strongly for his safety and emotional well-being. I understand no school is perfect and children can have conflicts anywhere, but as a parent, I did not feel confident that this environment was the best fit for my child's needs. My experience left me concerned about supervision, social-emotional support, and responsiveness to bullying concerns involving students with disabilities. Every child deserves to feel safe, respected, supported, and protected at school. For families considering this school, especially families with children who have IEPs, autism, or sensory/social support needs, I strongly encourage asking detailed questions about how disability-related teasing, bullying concerns, and student support are handled on campus. Ultimately, I decided to pursue a different educational environment that I believe will provide more structure, support, and accountability for my son.

We were able to stay for a full 8 days before taking our child out of this school! STAY AWAY FROM…read moreTHIS SCHOOL!!! I will begin with stating that our child was 6 years old in 2nd grade, which is young. He started a new school and we were getting a phone call every single day. EVERY SINGLE DAY. He is not that bad as he has had perfect days in his new school. We had already told them that he would need a transition time adjust to this new school and older schoolmates. The story begins..... The principal, Kelvin Jackson, told our child to "Shut up and come with me." after a particularly tough day at school. He did sent us an apology letter. As his father, I could accept that, but we knew that this wasn't the school for him to grow in faith or academically. We did pay over $600+ for him to be in school for a whole 8 days. We spoke with the on-site superintendent, Jason Yarbrough, (the only other review for the school, see below) after initially getting blown off by him the week before. He stated that we HAVE TO PAY $65 FOR AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE!!! We respectfully let him know that we had pulled him out from the principals actions, but that didn't matter as he continuously pointed out the behavior of our child and justify his principal. Of course we are going above and beyond to let parents know and are getting in contact with the school board. Charles

Let me first say that nobody is as cautious as me when it comes to deciding what school I was going…read moreto put my son in to begin his school life. I am so happy I picked Natomas Christian School (NCS). Prior to my son starting school in August-2015 my beautiful wife and mother to my son died from cancer in January-2015. Needless to say we were still deep in our grief. I was faced with having to decide on the best school for my son that would understand the emotional trauma he was in and would work with me to make his transition as smooth as it could be under the circumstances. I looked at both public school and private schools. I quickly knew public school was not an option. My son needed a school that shared the same Christian beliefs as me, promoted prayer in school, did not use the Common Core curriculum, was affordable, had extended care, had a summer program and had small class sizes. NCS met my expectations to the letter. My son's kindergarten teacher (Mrs. Flowers) was the perfect teacher. She had a background in Psychology and was an experienced teacher. My son's transition was rough in the beginning but his teacher and school prayed for him and worked with him. In time he adjusted fine and was reading by Christmas! He is also good at double digit math and his overall confidence level has improved tremendously. I highly recommend NCS to anyone looking for a new school with small class sizes who view educating kids in the way it should be done. The staff and teachers are top notch and I'm very happy with where my son is emotionally, spiritually and academically. God Bless NCS!!

Horrid. The school is extremely horrible. I got bullied so hard, I been insulted, I been harassed,…read moreand even gotten bruises because of the staffs/teachers not doing anything. There was only 1 teacher was actually good. But my math/science teacher yelled at me in front of the class because I was late many times, but i was late because I had extreme mental episodes and breakdowns because this school genuinely ruined me. The staff when I entered the school for the first time was already sassy with my older sister and even told me about it, and I remember calling the front office about the bullies who physically harmed me and they talked rudely and acted like it was my fault. It took an extreme toll on my mental health and it even made me extremely depressed. That has also made me go turn into online school because of how bad it was. I know it's a different experience for everyone. But for me, it was the worst.

The parents of the baseball kids are especially horrible; teaching their kids to litter, avoid taking responsibility when they damage someone's property, teaching them that it's ok to TRESPASS onto someone's property and that it is ok to illegally park on someone's lawn and damage it. It's no wonder the school's already non-existent funds were cut, they might as well just shut down this school.
