Nellie K. Parker Elementary School

My child came from private school and was quickly embraced in every way at Nellie K. Parker. The leadership and teachers truly care about their students and are effective in every way.

They are a fantastic school, so involved with the students, teaching through positive reinforcement, having the students be independent and take responsibility for their actions while still nurturing the students, coaching them, guiding them and helping them to better themselves through academics and extracurricular activities.

NKP is a really good school. My daughter has been there for 2 years and is comfortable in the learning environment. Although there appears to be great academic resources, it does not appear that they are available to everyone. I think the school would benefit from a crossed grade style of teaching. If certain strategies for one teacher are produces superior resutls, the other teachers should be encouraged to follow suit

I think NKP is a good school but I totally agree with a previous post that the principal and teachers are only encouraging and supportive if the student doesn't have any problems. Therefore, if you do not have a perfect child, chances are your child will be penalized for it. They will also try their best to ship to child out of the school. I don't think the principal is fit for her position because she doesn't know how to handle children is various issues, which is very sad. Her attitude is that 'she can't be bothered' I am talking from experience.

Most of the teachers are great, but a few bad apples... My son's current teacher can't seem to get control of her class and protests to the administrations falls on deaf ears, Principle seems to be particularly out of touch with what is happening in and around the school.

Excellent school. I am pleased with the entire staff. My son did not like school before and he attended Catholic school. I decided to pull him out and send him to Nellie K. I have not seen him this enthusiastic about school since he started Pre-kindergarten. He is now in 2nd grade and I only wish I checked out Nellie K first instead of listening to unfound rumors.
