Nativity of Our Blessed Lady

I feel that the school does not offer a lot of extracurricular activities for the children. Every activity that is done has to be funding by the parent or their child cannot participate. I also feel the children should have gym more than one day a week. I also don't understand why parents pay full price for school fee and after school fee, when at times the children were out of school for two weeks for some months. It also disgust me that children have to stand up outside in the cold in the morning. I don't see my child returning to this school. There is better out there for the price.

Nativity is a great school, the teachers try their hardest to make their students succeed. I been to Nativity for 8 years now and i am very smart. I am on 1st honors at Nativity.The principal is a hard working gentleman that tries his hardest to make the school run positive. Kids at Nativity dislike it because they just wanna do what they want. Nativity is a school of high discipline. I go to Nativity I would never like to leave this school.

This school is bad. It's way too small, not to mention it's on Dyre Ave (not exactly where you want children to hang out), and the teachers lack in experience. I'm so glad I graduated. There are NO clubs or sports teams, and when there is it's overpriced and a waste of time. The cafeteria is also gym, lunch, music class, library class, the auditorium, after school, and VERY small. The library lacks in size and books. There's no art program. The only language is Spanish and it's not even daily. And the music class/choir is terrible. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE

Nativity of Our Blessed Lady School is an excellent school. The teachers are dedicated and challenge each student to the fullest of their potential. The principal is a very strong leader and is very committed to the success of the children. The pastor is an involved and dedicated man. My daughter started from Pre-K and is now in the fourth grade. She has excelled academically and continues to grow in her faith due to the foundation she receives at home and at school. There are extra curricular activities to choose from and what the school lacks; it more than makes up for it academically. All schools need parent involvement, commitment, and dedication and Nativity has that from me, a parent. Our children are Special, Important and Beautiful. If you are looking for a safe, challenging educational environment, visit Nativity of Our Blessed Lady School, your child will thank you for it.

I went to nativity and had to leave when my family moved to florida. When I started school in florida, I was a year ahead of everyone and got bored with school because they didn't challenge me like nativity did. Every day I wish I could go back.

My son is in the third grade at nativity of our blessed lady, I have nieces and nephew that are presently attending the school. They all are well discipline and doing great. I took my son from a public school and see great changes in a few months. Now I have enrolled my daughter for the new school year. If you are looking for a well discipline, safe and cheerful place to send your child, nativity is the place. The religious teaching is phenomenal. The principal is very strict; he is also extremely patient and understanding. Most of the teachers and administrative staff are excellent. I truly believe that a few teachers could be a little more patient; the school has a very good Spanish and music teacher. I agreed that they need to improve on the extracurricular activity. After comparing Nativity with the others schools, they are the best.

Nativity lacks in the department of physical education and performing arts. The grounds are very closed in and technology needs more improvement since students must all use the small computer room in the cafeteria area. Technology in today's society is a must and unfortunately students at Nativity are lacking this experience. No tolerance for misconduct, from my point of view, is good but at times becomes obsessive to the point students cannot dance or skip during recess. Leadership wise, principal and teachers need to be more amicable toward students' and their academic struggles. My experience at first was good, but as my child advanced, the school lacked in its performance of nourishing a setting that is both supportive and educative. Please, reconsider and do not be fooled by the small setting that can be miscontrued as a family setting.
