All of my 3 daughters have attended Nautilus and it is unbelievable that anyone could rate this school and it's staff anything less than a 5! Within a couple of weeks of each new year, you can walk onto the school grounds and will notice that EVERY member of the staff, from custodians to principal will call every student by their first name! I only WISH that the junior and senior high schools demonstrated a fraction of the devotion to the students that Nautilus does!

It's interesting to read some of the other reviews. The school is good, with the exception of the principal who is extremely rigid.

My son attends school here, and I'm looking forward to having my daughter attend here next year. So far, our experience here at Nautilus has been outstanding. The staff and students exibit a great deal of school spirit. The staff is caring and protective, and my truely enjoys his educational experience. M. Truss

By the WASL scores, one would think this school rates poorly. I was shocked to see the scores so low because my experience with the school is nothing but positive. My son is in the fourth grade and has two teachers in his classroom and I think the ratio for student:teacher is 24:2. The school (on appearances) seems to have a good music/program. My son brings home many projects and seems to enjoy the activities. Their is a computer lab and a library that seems more than adequate. Whatever reasons there might be for the low WASL scores, my son scored in the 98% so the school has done right by us.

I moved away from that school because of the principal and the counselor, they do not care enough about the kids and giving them a quality education. Not a lot of cooperation. The teachers are great people.
