The principal seems nice enough but does not want to do testing and someone, either the teacher or principal is ignoring bullying. They refused to retain students. Some of the teachers and specials teachers and staff are very nice. There is one teacher who is now teaching K who should not even be working with children.

Outstanding school with exceptional academic programs for children K-5. There are a variety of extracurricular activities for children including a talent show, and school play. Parents are very involved in the school. It is very well maintained and the staff and teachers are exceptional. The also offer an id program. More could however be offered in terms of foreign language, which has been eliminated due to cut-backs.

My child has just entered the NHMS and she went to Green Acres. She was so upset because she was there for 6 years. Mr.Handie and his whole staff was wonderful to her she said if she could she would go back and go k-5 again and again!

I have had my children in many schools (we have moved three times) My children have changed so much after joining the green Acres Family.I am so pleased to see them jump up and want to go to school. They are wel rounded and have great social skills and do very well in school. I give Green Acres a 5 if that is the highest I can give. D. Battista
