Nellie N. Coffman Middle School

I substituted at this school several times. I quit the job in the worst job market in the country because of how bad this school was. I can't say more than to tell you I was there and I wouldn't subject myself to that kind of environment let alone my children. When I told the teachers that I substituted for, that the students felt empowered to act horribly, three of them told me at separate times that the administration supported this attitude. Yes threatening, yes uncontrolled talking, yes uncontrolled refusal to do work, yes completely ignored my requests to let other students in the classroom please listen to the lesson. It goes on and on. It would be a disservice to your children to enroll them here.

This is one of the worst ever. I had to take my son out of this school because he was getting attacked everyday because he has white. I was reallt frightening for his life. It was getting perty bad. The principal diden't care at all. I took him out to do independent study every monday you go in and pick up a package for the student to turn in on friday . only one time in 8 weeks did they have a package ready for him. so the school really did leave my son behind. I am happy we are back in Nevada were this school cares about the students.

The school is newly remodled but the class size is 40+. I dislike the learning structure of classes. It seems there is not parent teacher interaction when there is a problem in the class. Unless you attend parent teacher conferences you may not be aware you childs grades are failing. To many kids in classrooms to provide adequate education.

The school is improving and test scores are going up. The campus is clean and orderly and remodeling is taking place.

This school has come a long way. It has excellent leadership and a very hard working staff. They want to move the school forward so that kids are prepared for college and the work force.

I believe that the growth and change at NNC over the past 3 years is amazing. The quality of education is strong and students are becoming students who believe that they can achieve.
