Both of my children went to Nancy Young, one from 2nd grade through 5th grade and the other from kindergarten through 5th grade. I can't say enough about how wonderful the school is! Both of my children thrived there in the nurturing environment created by Mrs. G. on down through every staff member there! The academics were great and the extracurricular opportunities excellent. How fortunate my children were to have had such a great start to their academic career.

My son has been at this school for several years. He has special needs, and I have found that the level of professionalism is outstanding. All needs are promptly addressed, and the parents and kids are very involved in the school. A very well-oiled machine.

This school is a high functioning school with a great sense of cmmunity. The academic programs are fantastic. They have many afterschool activities ranging from sports to arts. There is also an afterschool program provided by the YMCA for a monthly fee. Parent involvement is high also.

We moved here recently from England. My daughter is in grade 1 (2005). I am very impressed with the level of teacher interest and involvement. All her teachers and the Pricipal ready get to understand the child and they commuicate with the parents immediately on any issue. There is also a lot of parent particiaption and the school works as should do i.e an extension of the family.
