Attending Nandua Highschool certainly had its ups and downs, but overall, these last four years have been some of the best of my life. I think one of the main needs of improvement would be in the college preparation aspect. But they do a really good job of helping students who are proactive and looking for the college route.

The principal of Nandua High School takes into consideration what students believe can improve for future students. Being part of the soccer team when we won state champions for 2020 was a nice experience and now, they have a group picture on the hallway. I don't have the worst experience in the school because there aren't bad things there to dislike about. I would like to see the school put more money into lunch choices and sports gear.

We can't say for sure, but this school is suspected of giving answers to kids on the SOL... so don't look at those to judge this school!
