Nautilus Middle School

I love nautilus! It is my second home! The programs are kind of hard and lots of homework but I liked it!!

Beware of Mr. Smith (administrator) thinks that bullies don't bully unless they have a reason. WOW! My son got bullied and Mr. Smith said "what did your son do to provoke the bully?" WOW! On another incident Mr. Smith was told by name that my son was involved in a fight where 3 kids hit him I still haven't received a call from him that my son was attacked. I showed up in school to see him and he responded " I did not need to call you!" WOW! Please Parents if you have had similar issues please take your time to write on this. Please, I feel like i'm the only mother going through this and I know that is not the case. I will guide you if you need support.

My daughter and I like Nautilus. She's in the Junior Scholars program which is pretty much what we thought it would be: rigorous. The teachers are great! So far as the kids and any bullying, my daughter has made many new friends and still has many from her old school: South Pointe Elementary. We keep in touch with many of her former clasmates and none have reported any problems that I'm aware of, though I'm sure there are with a school this size. One surprise are the opportunities for music, theater and sports that offer lots of options. And the school is in one of the nicest neighborhoods in the country so I never worry about her walking home, taking the bus, whatever. In short, we are very pleased and comfortable with the school.

Im recently in NMS, im in 8th grade. I've been in this school since 7th and it is a great school to me but the problem is some teachers can be really rude... the secuirty, there not bad buttt they are friends with the bad kids soo... Students can be mean to but theres always mean people in schools so thats not a problem, but there are also ALOT of nice, friendly students. Other than that its actually a pretty nice school.

I go to school at nms it has good teachers and good staff but One thing I don't like is the security and most students The reason I don't like the security is because they Are all friends with all the misbehaved kids and most of The kids are bullies one time in nms a kid brought Jet fuel to burn down the school and all they did was Send him to juvy for ten days and he came back to the school a week Later also there is alot of drug using in the school

La experiencia de mi hijo ha sido muy buena. Excelentes profesores. Yo podria sugerir que hubiese mas opciones de actividades extra catedra.

You cant have the school without the students. The school is a grade A. The teachers did not take the FCAT. Last time I checked the students were the ones tested. That must say something- Kids at the school can't be all that bad!!!.. It takes two to tango. Skiping? Most definitely a big problem- where is security? Where are campus monitors? What is Administration up to?

It's okay ....i guess , I really am not enjoying my time here in this school. Mostly because of the students , there bullies everywhere and people are always skipping. There some good teachers but only a handful of them and right now we are dropping in FCAT levels because none of the students care. Whats worse is that the most badest students are friends with the security. Honestly this school would great place to attend if it weren't for the students

This school is okay i had fun but there is lots of drugs and fights. Some teachers arenice though

I am student at NMS . While i have attended this school i have notice terrible cases with the students and teachers. The students are always getting in trouble and really dont care about the consequences because they do it over and over again. Kids are always late to class, skip class and dont care. Im one of the students that have gotten hurt by some of the kids. There are a lot of BULLIES!! There are at least one fight a day, and kids are entertain by that and the securities dont care either about stopping it. Most teachers dont teach at all. I had to attend a tutor place for help for the Fcat ! I wouldnt suggest any kid to come here theres drugs, classroom overcrouding there are like 40 kids in a class, pushing in the halls and pushing on the stairs, i didnt love going here.
