GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Our child loves going to this school. He has excellent teachers, and I feel safe sending him here.

I think that this school needs serious work with communication to parents, teacher etiquette and students needs. LET KIDS BE KIDS.

If I could give this school a negative star I would! They really don't seem to be concerned when children are getting bullied. The recess teachers spend more time gabbing then actually watching the children. For your child's safety, please do not send your children to NHES.
