NMS is a great school - The Principal and Vice-Principal are excellent, as well as the teachers. There is a strong PTA involvement and community feel everywhere. I love the school and am pround to have my 3 kids there !
The new principal has made an incredible difference over the past few years. Dedicated teachers, focused parents make this school the choice school of eastern Greenwich. The school offers an Advance Learning program and has an onsite after-school program via the OGRCC. Many people who origninally considered ISD as a choice elementary school are glad that ultimately they choose NMS. ISD has the name, but this is the elementary school to send your children to if you want them to have the core bulding blocks that will be needed in middle school and thereafter.
North Mianus is the best public elementary school in Greenwich. Strong leadership from the Principal and Vice Principal, excellent teachers in all grade levels, wonderful programs for both special education and advanced learning, a wonderful community of caring and involved parents, and an amazing PTA.
I don't think you get better teachers than those at North Mianus. Despite an overly politicized Board of Education and some too-large class sizes (over 19), the teachers at NMS find a way to give each child the individual attention he/she needs in order to succeed. The teachers here are simply incredible.
I am the reviewer from October 2, 2008 and feel compelled to write again to inform any new readers of this site that the principal about whom I wrote previously retired at the end of last school year. We, as a school community are pleased about our new principal, as we hear all good things about her from parents at the school she comes to us from. Everything else in my previous review still applies - we are very happy at North Mianus.
Everything written here is accurate, however, the principal is obtuse and indifferent to the needs of children who are below or borderline grade-level. If your child falls into this category, prepare for the fight of your life, or go elsewhere.
This is a very strong community school with a very strong PTA. The parents and teachers work together to help the students achieve at the highest potential. The staff are very dedicated and caring, they are always willing to meet with parents to discuss any issues. This is a very safe environment. You can feel certain that your children are in good hands.
Awesome school- my kids love it. Huge parent involvement. Teachers very willing to work with kids to see them excel.
I love North Mianus School, everyone is so nice and the community is just great! I would recomend this school to anyone!
