Natomas Middle School

Now, don't get me wrong, this school is far from perfect. But I honestly think it deserves a chance. Though it may have a bad reputation, its not always the best decision to judge something from its past. I sent my daughter to a private school in 2008 just to give it a try and compare the two(public & private). Later on, my husband bought a house in Natomas and we ended up moving in the middle of 2009. 2 months after we moved my husband was laid off. I still had my job, but we could only afford enough to pay ESSENTIAL expenses. We cut back by sending her to a public school, in this case NMS. We knew that this school has struggled in the past, but we had no choice. My daughter has been excelling in this school since Day 1. This school has its flaws, but you never know. It could always be a pleasant surprise. :)

I have a daughtr who is in 7th grade and this is her first year at nms. The principal is fabulous! but parents beware, the front office staff likes to treat and talk to parents as if they are talking to children.. On many occasions i've had to go directly to the pricipal! she has handled the situation, however each time tha i think it wont happen again it does.. Just continue to push back and not allow the poor bahavior.. Someday they may get the point that they can't treat parents as the treat the students!! otherwise academically, the school is awesome my daughter went from a 2.0 Student to a 3.6.. I'n very pleased

I have two 12 yr old that attend this school, and as long as you are involved in your childs academic progress they are going to do great. When i have an issue it is taken care of but we are now in middle school, this is when the attitudes begin..... Good school

I go to this school and I think it is great. It has a good education and the teachers and staff members are helpful. They explain everything carefully to students who do not understand the subject. I like this school. Natomas middle school rocks!

My son attended NMS from 2003-2006. His transition from a bay area elementary to a middle school in Natomas had its challenges for our family. Through commitment and perseverance our son successfully promoted from the principal's list to high school. Our family is grateful for the strong leadership of Mrs. Najera-Kunsemiller and Mr. Hervey Taylor. Our son also had fabulous teachers who genuinely cared and mentored our son to complete middle school. We truly believe that parental involvement is truly the key to a child's success.

This shcool is a very well rounded school and I teach in Houston Texas.It is so much better here at this school and the kids are so respecting. The food has its ups and downs but overall the [rating] is five star for behavior.
