My child started Nathan Hale last year. The teachers and teaching staff are awesome. They do everything to help these kids and are wonderful to work with. The administration on the other hand, leave a great deal to be desired. Disorganized, rude, condescending and unhelpful, I was exasperated with them-and especially the principal and vice principal-within the first 3 weeks of school. They tend to talk to parents like they are children and I was highly offended when we went for oreintation. It took weeks to get an answer on something and when I called once as a new parent asking a question, a person in the office laughed at me. They don't realize that there are new students and new parents that don't know the school. You shouldn't assume they do. And they need to dial down the atttude big time.

My children go to NH. It is the most enjoyable environment I've seen. They are both A students and I will give the credit to where it is due. The teachers are doing what they are supposed to be doing. Thank you for making their education enjoyable.
