My daughter started at this school in the second grade coming from a private school, I thought that she would be prepared and on grade level. Unbeknowst to me that Nishaune was above grade level. As soon as her teacher identified the problem we were able to work together along with the school's remarkable STARS program to get her on track. Within 6 months my daughter was not only reading above her grade level, but her math skills have increased dramatically. Nishaune is a WONDERFUL school that is dedicated to the children and their learning and studying habits.
Extracurricular is beyond compare. My child has been well looked after, physically, mentally and emotionally. The school principal is responsive and the teachers are wonderful.
My grandaughter went to this school until she moved out of the community year before last. She still misses it. The faculty was extremely dedicated, creative, and focused on a common mission. It, and the population, were racially and ethnically very diverse, and the symbiosis was extremely positive and apparent. Parent participation was nearly 100%. This school could serve as a model for how to operate a successful school in an integrated community.
All three of my children are attending/have attended Nishuane School, the gifted and talented magnet, and I have found that it has been good fit for each of them. Despite large class sizes during some years, students receive a lot of attention due to the high number of classroom aides that are employed. The advanced 'CI' classes have allowed each of my children to explore their talents to a greater extent. The elective class selection book reads like a college course catalogue - pretty impressive for a school that services only K through 2nd grade.
