Nieman is not a great school. The principal, and thus, leadership at this school is VERY weak. The principal caters to only one population at the school and is not very proactive. In fact, he will do nothing if you have a complaint unless you get the district to tell him to do it, especially involving the health and safety of the children. The nurse should be fired. She does nothing for the students and is very dismissive of everything that happens, even when a child is visibly inured. Notifications are not sent home if the children are exposed to illnesses, or even lice, and I am not the only parent who has a problem with this. There are few challenging programs and the principal has never even heard of the AR reading program. The only reason he got a star on my rating was because there is not an option for no stars. They do have a school therapist/social worker who does play therapy, so if your child needs that then that would be a plus. But FYI, just because a school looks new or nice from the outside, does not mean it a good school. There is very little parent involvement, too. I would not recommend sending your child to this school if you can avoid it at all costs.
