My kids have had much better. My family has many learning disablities in it (over 50% of my family members). My daughter has been struggling greatly and instead of testing her, like I have been trying to get done for over 2yrs., they keep trying to blame me and my daughter for her problems. It may be a good school for the "perfect student" that fits in their mold, but I'm not pleased with this school at all, and it didn't work for my son either.

Ok.........I'm a student and and 8th grader! I love this school SOOOO much it's been my favorite one so far. I've been getting straight A's and the occasional B. I love all my teachers and just about all of the students. I am dreading the day I leave for high school. BEST SCHOOL EVER!!

My daughter just started 6th Grade @ NAMS. She has all A's & 1 B. I am very impressed with her Block teacher Mrs. Jamison-Wells. She has kept me very informed about what is going on in class & if there is anything that we need to be doing to help my daughter to succeed. Overall I am very impressed with all the teachers & their support. Thanks.

I think this school is very well organized. My daughter enjoyed going to class every day. They could use more sport programs and after school activities.. but over all its been a pleasant and inviting school.

NAMS is a really good school. The teachers, principal and staff go out of their way to be friendly and helpful.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Oregon used the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7 and 10 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 10 in science. The OAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oregon. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
