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.

I would like for them to change the entire school because some stuff isn't needed in school and they need to try to better our educational environment.

My experience at Nandua High was fun from my prospective, the student sections were always fun to be around during games/ pep rallies, the faculty was a little inattentive sometimes but they were always trying to help in any kind of way.

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!
