Nebbie is a great school. The teachers truly care about each child and want them to have the best education possible. The principal, assistant principal, counselor, nurse and office staff work as a team. They are always available to answer questions and their love for the Nebbie kids definitely shows each day. We love Nebbie!

The staff and management at Nebbie are phenomenal! They are well equipped to educate children with learning disabilities as well as ADD/ADHD kids. They are very organized. They treat your child like a person, not a number. They genuinely care about the academic and emotional success of your child. Love em'!

Nebbie Williams Elementary is a great school with good teachers and high achieving kids. The school is well-organized and very competitive in this area. As a former teacher, one thing that I particularly like about Nebbie is that each grade level team of teachers works and stays together. A new teacher would not be a risk because there is so much help and support from the veteran teachers. The staff and teachers are very accomodating and allow for plenty of parental involvement with minimal classroom disruption. Each grade-level has a workroom that parents can go to if they want to volunteer. The teachers have lists of things that can be done by parent volunteers in order for the teachers to focus more on educating the students. Overall, Nebbie is a strong public school.

This school makes it a point to include everyone in activities. They held a fund-raiser walk-a-thon that was great. The teachers are pro-active and work hard to make sure the students understand the material they cover. The principal is top-notch, encouraging students to be their absolute best. The school nurse is a great asset to this school as well. The choir program is excellent with the children singing and signing some of the songs in their repetoire. This school has done a great job preparing my child for the move to middle school!

My son has been at Nebbie for both Kindergarten and now 1st grade. We are moving b/cause of job location and it has been a very hard decision to do so. My son entered Kindergarten not reading or writing.he was in 1/2 day K and came out reading very well with a little supervision. He was right on task for 1st grade. He is finally in 1st grade where he gets a full day of school and I am very pleased at the involvement of the teachers with the students and the ability they have to work with him on academics he is struggling at. They have a full time reading tutor on hand, if a child is falling just a little shy of reading at full potential. The school offers music, art, PE and a lot of extracurricular activities. The parent involvement is probably what makes Nebbie an exemplary elementary.
