"Our daughter has done very well at the school, and we are bringing our second to kindergarten next year. We think that the community is strong, the administration is doing a good job of growing, and the teachers are fantastic. Some parents have overreacted to a teacher or two leaving- Nea has a fantastic track record of recruiting motivated and gifted teachers. As a new-ish community, there are some growing pains, but we like what we see. Compared to the public school that is completely driven by homework and worksheets, this is a refreshing change in the model."

"My child is in the upper village of Nea and has done well. Good grades, made friends, enjoys the school day. I have found the facilitators to be helpful and very responsive, and I've have no trouble with the administration. I am puzzled, however, by the strong negative comments that some departing parents feel necessary to make about the school. Yes, it is a very unique model that doesn't fit every child, but it doesn't mean that if it doesn't fit your child, it is a failure. There are many, many happy parents and kids at Nea!"

"I think that choice is good and sometimes schools are not the right fit for everyone. Glad you are happy elsewhere...that is what is important. I love Nea for it innovation and what they are trying to do. I look to see how they will be in the next years, a they are still young, and some of the issues with the facilities are our of their control. By the way, the school provides spring water for every learner, and bringing a water bottle is a great idea."

"We were so excited to be a part of Nea at the beginning of the year. After seeing the new facilities for the K-5 campus I began to have some concerns. My concerns were quickly validated when my kindergartener began holding her bladder all day because the bathrooms are designed for middle school sized students and the school wouldn't allow a step stool in the stalls. Recess was a nightmare because Nea doesn't have a play structure and all the older kids get the few balls available. My daughter spent her playtime placidly walking around a sun-baked black top. Nea promised that the children would be taken to the adjoining park, but this happened only once in the two weeks we attended. There is no drinking fountain, so don't forget your water bottle - ever. The lead facilitator is impossible to approach, and be ready to be labeled a "problem-family" if you even think of making some suggestions for improvement. I think the teachers care very much, but they are intimidated by the administration. As soon as we moved our daughter to AUSD we were all so much happier."

"It's all about the teachers. At other schools, the teacher-student relationship is now centering on worksheets. Not so at Nea. We are happy here, and there are challenges. Truly, it's a start-up. If your family isn't up for that type of environment, this isn't the school for you. Our experience is that academics are good; the previous reviewers experience of "not strong" academics doesn't jibe for me. Afterschool options are better this year than last, still some room to improve. Edgy administration. Doesn't really bother me, but I'm pretty busy myself. I understand."
