Nelson is an extremely great school. The teachers are wonderful, and the environment is friendly and diverse. This is a great school for students to develop a grounded personality, as students are able to form long lasting friendships without most of the 'clique' problems most schools develop.

I think for the most part this is a great school. The teachers get involved with parents and students, its a calm environment for the children and makes you feel like a part of the community, I do think they need more activities for the children, and I think they need to stop asking for a referendum, there is enough money for the school if it's allocated properly. As long as they don't lose sight of the children , I definately would recommend this school.

This was a great school, both of my children went here. The enivornment of the school is wonderful and the principal is extremely nice. It's not a bad school to let your child go to.

I feel that that V.H. Nelson School is great but we need voters to say yes to the referendum because we have lost so much ( like band ) and now we have bigger class sizes.

I don't feel that the kids are priority, money is!! If the other were true we would not have the teacher to parent ratio that we have.
