Nicoma Park Junior High was a wonderful school! I had great teachers and resources. They offered lots of interesting activities and organizations. It great start for my higher education. They use techniques that help think outside the box. It always felt very safe and the students were like family. The current principal is amazing. I was a student for 3 years and I would highly recommend it to anyone! But here's a warning! Choctaw High School is not so great. But Nicoma Park was beyond fabulous in every single way.
