New Branches is a wonderful school. There is nothing I don't love about it. My son has been attending New Branches since kindergarten and now he is in the forth grade. He will be attending New Branches until he is to old to attend. GO NEW BRANCHES
The teachers, staff and administration give 110% to educating the kids. The school promotes family involvement and does great job reaching out to the parents. The teachers work with the students at the level each student is at and helps each student continue to grow. I would recommend New Branches to any family looking for an alternative to the traditional public school!
They care for the students and have created a safe environment
New Branches staff are fabulous! They are so devoted to the kids. We love the Spanish and Art, and both of my girls love their teachers!
This is a wonderful school. It teaches holistically to the whole child. The teacher are incredibly talented and hard-working. There is plenty of emphasis on art, music, science, healthy lifestyle.
The teachers are enthusiastic about teaching. They are so excited to be there everyday.
New Branches is an incredible school. The teachers are very friendly and genuinely interested in each child and want each one to achieve at their highest potential. They offer lots of extra curricular activities like a 4H Club, Book Club and sports. They like to hold a lot of family activities so that families can get to know each and that makes the school feel like a community. The school moved into a new facility this fall and it is fantastic. Great library, great playgrounds, great gymnasium and great cafeteria!!!!! I highly recommend it and my children love it.
Our son has done very well at New Branches. They have offered him an individualized curriculum to suit his needs and are willing to create new material for him at our request. The staff is always friendly and positive. We are also excited that they have just announced that they will be adding 7th grade next year and 8th grade the year after.
I have been in the New branches School for about 5yrs. My children are very unhappy there. The principal leadership is poor. They have lost a lot of good teachers and ever since then the school is just not as good as it used to be. The schools also doesn't have sports for the kids. If your child is into sports I would look somewhere else.
