My sons attended this school and their current success demonstrates the quality of this school. The oldest, Chief Warrant Officer USMC, middle son, SSgt and business owner and my youngest Sgt and Electronic Engineer for a major computer components company. There are many working at Nadaburg School, from the support staff to the teachers and Mr. Curtis McCandlish, who really do care about your children and the quality education they receive. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in teaching my sons and God Bless You!
I have two children at Nadaburg. I have been very happy with dedication of the teachers my children have this year. The teachers are knowledgeable, caring, and make learnig fun. The adminstration is involved, knows the students, and cares about their education and safety.
We have a new principal and super. Things are starting off wonderful. The kids are excited and the teachers are too. My kids have attended for many years, and have always had great teachers. Admin. this year seems to be consistant so far. I think our new principal will be a good leader and put our kids needs first. Hopefully the afterschool programs will reflect this positive change as well.
My son has been attending nadaburg for 3 years.I have been very happy with the education he has recieved.We have a new principal this year, i feel he will do great things for the school and community.I feel the children respect him and look up to him.The one thing i would change,is the sports programs for the younger kids.Last year it seemed like 6th through 8th had all the sports and the younger ones had none.Hopefully this year that will change...Dont want to sign up for surprise recreation teams anymore,to much in gas to drive into town.We have a great community out here....I love it,and my son loves his school.....Sarah H...
I really like the school. The teacher my son has is awesome. & Im glad we chose to move out here. Cant wait to see what the school adds next for the kids to do!
I moved here two years ago. My child did not like our other school but enjoys Nadaburg. My child's former teacher told me that he should be in special education. The teacher in Nadaburg disagreed, set high goals and today my child is on the honor roll. This is a great school. This is the best school ever.
After reading so many poor reviews I can't help but wonder if there is more than one school by this name. My experience and the experience for both of my children for the past two years has been absolutely amazing. Every teacher I have met with and any interaction I have had with administration has been excellent. I can't help but wonder if the poor ratings come from parents that are looking for a scapegoat when their child does poorly. I honestly can say that I have strongly recommended this school to others both for their children as well as a place of possible employment.
You claim that the teachers don't seem to care...have YOU ever been on campus to volunteer? Or as many of you have made statements by hearing it from unhappy people? That school is made up of a staff who care deeply for the students...many drive in from Phoenix (45 minutes or more)...not because they're getting rich!!!!
When I first moved to Wittmann, I researched the school, my son was not even 1 at the time and I swore that he would never go to Nadaburg. When he was old enough to go to school, after researching Nadaburg and Dysart districts & discovered that they were both horrible, I chose to enroll my son into a charter school. After 2.5 years there I pulled him out after he was labeled UNTEACHABLE bythe principle because my child was border line ADHD. After home schooling my son for 6 weeks to get him caught up to enter back into school, I re-evaulated Nadaburg, new principle, new superintendant and a performance + rating my son is getting Principals list each quarter and has the support of the staff when he needs redirection. 5 Stars to the teachers and Mr Nelson to bring a non-performing school to the top of the charts.
As a teacher with a masters & 18 years experience. I have found the administration at this school terrible. I have taught in 3 different schools, and have never experienced the lack of answers. We moved here last year, and I will allow my children to remain through this shcool year, but will transfer them next year. My wife has spoken to the principal concerning bullying on the bus and has received no answers, she says there is no one else to talk to. Since the beginning of this year 2008, we now take her school and pick her up. They claim there is no bullying, and policies, but I have yet to see any. We respect the teaching staff we have met, they are professional, and care. I would love to bring some of them to my shcool to teach.
