"It hasn't been two complete weeks of school and I've had to meet with a teacher and assistant principal concerning the mistreatment of my son. His advance math teacher displays a selfish, careless attitude towards him. I was told by the assistant principal that she is a good teacher, but teaching a subject is only part of the job. We entrust our kids to schools and teacher in belief that they will receive a quality education that benefits the "whole" child, strong positive leadership and a staff that is willing to go above and beyond for the success of our kids. I'm not a parent who chooses sides before hearing the complete story. I am a parent who believes in fair treatment and respect for all students. My 7th grade son came from Ellis Elementary where he earned all "A's" the entire year, he earned the Principal Award for citizenship and behavior, and won an art scholarship from his art teacher. I have never had to address any negative issues concerning my son while he attended Ellis. I was forewarned about this school and some of its teachers. All teachers are not in the profession for our kids."

"This school's teachers are trying hard. The administration however needs to be a strict disciplinarian and REQUIRE full compliance with the highest standards. The ghetto gangs, the fights, the dirty dishelved attire of the students encourages laziness in student attitudes. I sincerely hope the administration has the spine to build a strong group of citizens - we'd like to be proud of Nichols someday!"

"I just finished the eighth grade at Nichols and it was awesome. The extracurriculars are great and so is the honors program. People complain about fights but what they need to remember is that when there are 900 teenagers in one building, aggression is bound to build up. What I'm trying to say is that there are going to be fights anywhere you go. Don't try to transfer to Shack-it's not any better."

"I am going to Lamar now but I did go to Nichols. It is not that bad of a school, Yes we had our behavior promblems but doesnt every school? We have really AMAZING teachers. They are strict on us because they ant the best for us. My science teacher Mrs. Muniz just won an award for her teahing skills. People complain about the dress but its only becasue they want us to look equal. Nichols is very diverse. As in some students live in huge houses and other in Apts and some even in hotels. When wearing a uniform, it makes it harder for you to tell who is the rich one and who is barley getting by. Ive also read that Shack is better then Nichols. THATS NOT TRUE! Shack didnt get TEA reconized! and If your child likes sports then Nichols is better for your child. So If you are wondering If Nichols is a good school then trust me.. Stuco President.. That yes Nichols is a good school. Thanks."
