"This school is good for the solid average student, but if your child is gifted or has special needs this is not a good school for them. I also did not care for the "better then everyone else" attitude I felt from the office staff and some parents. We chose to leave this school and I couldn't be happier with that decision ."

"They care more about money and appearances than the students. They drop regular teaching for several weeks in order to "prep" the students for the CLEP to get financial aid associated with the CLEP. If they really cared about teaching our children, they'd be more concerned with actually teaching than they are with how much money they can get. Several teachers should not be teaching but the principal has ignored numerous complaints from parents and staff. Additionally, in several cases of bullying, the school punished the victim by forcing them to switch classrooms and, eventually, leave the school while, basically, rewarding the bully for his/her behavior. Security is severely lacking. Outside doors are often left unlocked or partially ajar, open to anyone. The front desk is not always manned so it's easy to walk right into the school. Even with someone at the front desk they're often so busy that people walk in completely unnoticed. NVCS is not a safe place for your children. They started out with good intentions but have clearly strayed from the path. NVCS falls far short in almost all areas, you're wise to look at the traditional public school system before NVCS."

"This school has exceptionally involved teachers who show a care and concern for their students beyond the norm. With recent staff turnover, including new administrators, the school is better than ever!"

"My child fell an entire grade level behind in math at another public school last year, in large part due to a teacher who felt that first graders should go through math levels at their own pace. We got our child into New Vision Charter School this year, and our child has not only caught up, but surpassed grade level in math. Other subjects are excelled, as well. The teachers at New Vision seem to not only LIKE kids, but are very good at encouraging and helping them. The kids are much more challenged and willing to work hard for a teacher who cares. I also value a school that is run by the parents. We have no power struggle with a self important PTO who wants to relive their school days through their children. Instead, we have a like-minded group of parents who want our children to learn. I LOVE this school. It is what a school should be."

"My kids loved most of the teachers- overall, they have some exceptional staff members. Leadership in the school was horrible, but they have new leaders so that is good. They need to get a grip on the bullying and intolerance run amok in the school."
