High School in the Fullerton District that offers this program Also, my daughter went to the 7th grade Science Camp for girls and had a great experience . Nicolas was the only Jr High that offered the Science Camp at that time . My daughter has had a wonderful experience at Nicolas. I highly recommended this school . Don't listen to other negative comments that other parents say. Come see for yourself. In addition . Nicolas has a great Principal,Vice Principal. Teachers and Staff. They encourage the students to behave well and encourage high academics.

My son has attended Nicolas Junior High School for both 7th and 8th grades. I must be honest, my husband and I sent our son to this school with great caution. However, to our surprise Nicolas turned out to be a wonderful school. Dr. Barnett is very involved with the students and eager to see the students succeed. Our son enjoys going to school at Nicolas. We are very proud to call ourselves Nicolas Knights!

My Child has gone here for 7/8th grades. His test scores have gone up and he is much more confident.We a minor problems with different things from teacher to other student. The problems were quickly addressed and without alot of involvement on part. My son was able to approach the correct stafff members and handle situations mostly on his own. I am very pleased with Dr. Barnetts business approach to the shool and students. I feel he is very accessable to both parents and students and genuinely cares about each and every student in his care. I recomend Nicolas to anyone thats asks my opinion.

Not happy about the administration and the moral of the staff and students. You would think that a jump in test scores would make Nicolas a better place to be at, but with my third child attending here, I see a big difference in the school. Test scores raise, but at what cost!

I am a parent of Nicolas Jr. High Student for the 2nd time. I had a few issues from my first child with teachers by them not listening to me, I know my child and they would not even simply ask for homework at the start of every class. My 2nd child is flourishing here. I am really involved with my children so that helps the teachers. You will only be sucessful with your children if you are truly involved with their studies and keeping track of their grades week by week. Why have children if you do not help them become upright outstanding citzens. It starts at home and the teachers are their to help guide them when in school. You teach them guidelines of respect and they in turn will respect their teachers.

I am a second year parent at Nicolas Junior High School. I wanted to wait until my student's final year to post a review since it's often hard to judge a school on a one- year performance. My first impression of the school will be my final impression. From day one, I have been met with a friendly, consistent, and professional staff. Dr. Barnett is a third year principal at the school and has made wonderful strides met with progress to improve the students, academics, athletics, and attitude of the school. I have never seen a harder working or more dedicated principal anywhere. Dr. Barnett has implimented many successful programs for students of all academic levels. He works just as hard to improve the success of the higher academic students as well as the lower, stuggling students. He truly, deeply cares for each and every student at the school.

Dr. Barnett is really different. I think that school is super low and can even reach expectations that the district require but I think Mrs. Quiroz and Mrs Calvo are doing great as teachers my kids love it
