Compared to all the other schools in the district, its alot better! Education starts with the individual and if more students 'Wanted' to learn the school would probably be a 5 but that would be with any school!

This school needs help starting with the faculty. The principal doesn't return calls, counselors are standoffish to students. Homework is rarely given. Skipping is way to easy and with all the modern technology that we have, it should be easy to communicate with the parents and how their child/student is doing.

I'm currently a senior, and I've seen many changes happen through my nearly four years . From the staff and administration to the school's atmosphere. There's no denying the fact that Nimitz has gone downhill in the past few years. Why I say this is because I feel kids just don't care anymore. We have many teachers and counselors trying to help us prepare for our future, but kids just aren't taking advantage of it. The education is not the best, but it's not bad either. I think I've received an excellent education at Nimitz, and I feel I'm more than prepared for college next fall.

I am a currently a student at Nimitz and if I tell people interested in moving into the district, I would say, 'Run far, far away. Do not turn back.' I will admit, Nimitz has certain facility members that make you believe in the educational system again, and the extra curricular are surprisingly amazing, but the majority of the facility seem like they learn more from the students then vica versa. Now i do not necessarily think that my rating of one star is completely fair, but i know that they do not deserve two stars, so i am willing to settle on 1.5 stars.

I am a student at Nimitz and this school is entirely way too crowded, there is not enough time to get to class, there are so many idiots at this school, but these are only minor issues this school has. The big issue is the school's food. Our school needs to start serving healthy food, not all this greasy and fried food because you make the bad food better than these thrown in salads and sandwhiches and there's not even wheat bread or diet drinks.

I am I current student at Nimitz High School. The school now is very crowded, but this school is worth the bumping. This school has a wonderful medical program in which you can earn college credit and some certification like pharmacy technician certification. Like I said this school is worth it.

Nimitz has an excellent Choir department. The overall education can be very good or not so good depending on the individual teachers. Discipline is not so good. Stealing seems to be a regular occurence at this school; which is not properly addressed.
