I'm glad to have helped so many of you. Nathan use what you know so your kids will never have to go to an NPS. I'm miss my room (32#), my friends, and my students. Take care and God bless. We had a good run. --Steve J.

This school had a *huge* positive impact on my son's life! They take children with social challenges and turn them around. He really felt wanted by the teachers and administrators. His thirst for learning was fed, even when it was off topic. He learned & grew in many ways during his time @ Barbara Dawson. Steve J. was an incredible teacher!

Substandard work. No rhyme or reason for the work. Spelling words given to the children with incorrect words for them to study.


Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
