Our children have attended this school since it opened. We are very pleased with the school, especially the director. She knows each child's name and gives excellent leadership. We like having smaller junior high classes and the personal attention each child receives. I continue to highly recommend Navigator Pointe Academy.

I am really impressed with NPA. They really emphasize scholastic goals for each child. My daughter is in Jr. High and is pulling A's when she was in regular school she struggled. Only thing I wish they would include is a couple of extracurrilar activities like a field trip or dance for the Jr high kids.

This school has been the best thing for my children. We could not ask for a better director she has made this school great.

Navigator Pointe Academy has grown into a fabulous school for both Junior High and Elementary students. The director insists on a safe environment where learning can flourish. The teachers know and develop relationships with each of their students and are excellent role models for them. Academics is the number one priority and the children are taught to love to learn. We are so grateful for the opportunity to have our family attend Navigator Pointe Academy.

My children have attended NPA for 3 years. The staff is amazing and they know the name of each and every student. My son has done well in Jr. High and as he entered High School in our neighborhood he was very prepared for all college prep classes. My elementary aged student has doubled his scores in standardized testing and his confidence has grown. Each student is valued for who they are and the administration goes above and beyond to make every student reach their potential academically and morally.

I love NPA the principal, teachers and instrustors are wonderful. My daughter is a very strong willed little girl. I was concerned that once she started school that teachers would try to 'break' my daughter. NPA staff has done wonderful to 'mold' her. Rather then 'break' her. She loves her school!!

NPA has been an excellent school for my kids! We love the break out sessions for math, grammer, & spelling - and how the kids are re-evaluated every 3 weeks and placed in the correct group according to their learning ability. The school also has had an after school chess club - which the director took part in - that was awesome!

NPA has the potential to be a great school, however, their Jr. High Program is weak. Teachers alone have a hard time keepting self control. Kids with learning disabilities are not helped a whole lot. This school doesn't get kids ready for High School. They need teachers who can teach all levels of students in Jr. High not just the high achievers. The Jr. High teachers are ignorant when it comes to kids with learning disability, especially with ADHD. I thought this school would be different than a public school, but it's about the same. Plus they need to enforce the dress code in Jr. High.

This school was great for elementary; however when I entered junior high my math was the only thing they raised me for, but last year I was in all the top classes. It was disappointing. Sure you can make sure your kids are around less kids which results in less contention, but you can drive less far and get almost the same experience.

We love Navigator Pointe Academy! From the excellent curriculum to the safe environment, to the Director who knows the name of each student and works hard to keep the school running smoothly, to the teachers who love their students and provide excellent lessons.

The results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for all grades combined for each subject.
