I am THRILLED that my son is at Nicholson. I love the school..it is the perfect size and the child to teacher ratio is ideal. We have only one child and had NO idea what to expect in the elementary world, but as the years have gone past, he is now a 4th grader, the years get better each time. I completely feel he has great prep for upcoming middle school with just "enough" homework in a day...kids need to PLAY and I believe that the teachers work to show that to the kids at Nicholson. Again, I am so happy with what I have had and know that at the end of 5th we'll be sad to say goodbye.
