This school does not work well with special needs children. Their only goal is to maintain high scores. Those who are differnet are kicked out.

We love Nelson Elementary. We expect the best, and that is exactly what we are getting for our children. We have 2 children that are going to Nelson. They will both be in 4th grade this coming school year. Proud A.A.Nelson parents.
