At one point, I had four children attending this school. One for one school year, and three for three school years. I loved this school. The faculty was very helpful in every way possible. One of my children is a special needs student and NBLA did EVERYTHING they could to make his school experience great. I am so thankful to the principal for her involvement, the social worker for her support, and the teachers for all their patience.
I sent my kid there for 5th and 6th grade. Good results from teachers and principal when needed. Better than the other elementary schools in this district.
My son is a 1st grader & though we've only had 2 years' experience w/NB, they have been great! The faculty & staff are caring, personably & professional. The facility is clean, modern & safe. They're strong in parent participation & student recognition. I especially like how the menu's & celebrations are neutralized for students of all faiths to have more options. Not concerned about limited activities, keep up the academics to raise test scores. My son is there for an education, he can have activities on our time :-). V.I.
I absolutely love NBLA! I have a 1st grader and she learns so much on a daily basis. She gets her homework packets on monday and they are to be returned on friday(which gives both parent and child the time to work on it at their own pace) for grading. NBLA is prominent with their teaching and guidance and i wouldnt pick any other school to care for and teach my daughter for the 6 hours she's there monday-friday.
I am an involved parent that has a child soon to be two children attending NBLA and I am satisfied with NBLA. I feel that my child is in a safe environment, the teachers are informative and welcome parents participation/involvement. I think they should create extracurricular activites.
I have two children at New Beginnings Learning Academy, and I think that the school is great! The staff really does a good job with the kids> The earlier comment says that the school is not making AYP, but the school did make AYP in both reading and math. My kids will stay there as long as they can. I am very pleased with everything.
New Beginnings is fantastic. I go there every day to pick up my grandchildren. The school is clean and has great security. Teachers and staff are highly competent and persistent; assignments are designed to keep students motivated. No matter what they do; every child is treated with dignity and respect. Finally, I must say that my grandchildren have made great improvement since they started at New Beginnings.
My child attended kindergarten in this school last year. His teacher was excellent and the staff was very nice. The problem is the school is not meeting the yearly progress with the state testing and they have no extracurricular activities. I appreciate the kindness the staff have but, thatis not preparing my child for the future. This will be his last year there.
I have a kindergarten student and a sixth grader in this school. The faculty and staff are great. The staff in the office are always helpful and the teachers are great with the kids. If I leave a message for the teacher or have a questions they've always returne my call in sufficient amount of time to addresss any concerns. They really care about the students here. My only complaint would be they do not offer any after school program or extra curriculm activities.
