NOCCS has been a really good decision for us. Wonderful teachers who go the extra mile. For our family, this was the best. Would I change a few things? Sure. But in the end as my daughter finishes her 8th grade and moves on from here, I am grateful for this community's inclusiveness and challenging academics.
This school is great for elemantary but the 6-8 is not right for the school. The teachers are great at teaching younger kids but ASM (All school meeting) is defenitly based for the younger kids. Many activities treat the older kids as if we were 2nd graders, bullying is a problem in the upper school. This school has many events such as "Grandparents day" to get in peoples wallets.
Noccs brings people together. My kid love coming here every day!

There acidemics are strong. They hve really made a safe and warm place that my daughters loves to go to everyday. How many kids really enjoy being at school. This is thanks to staff, teachers and parents all working together.

My daughter teaches at this school and I love how student-centered and caring everyone is.
NOCCS is a community of diverse parents, teachers, administrators and board members who are committed to a teaching for understanding curriculum. Parents are viewed as a resource, everyone has a skill that can benefit the community. Admission to a charter school is via a lottery, guaranteeing equal access to any child in the Bay Area.
NOCCS is an inclusive, vibrant and creative school community. It is a true learning community and skillfully includes kids with special needs.
NOCCS is actually K-8 now. I have already written a review, so I just wanted to point out that we have a middle school as well. As of this writing Greatschools says k-5.
