Nelsen Middle School Reviews

It is a VERY dirty school.
I was there for my daughters orientation and there was food welded to the walls in the cafeteria, dirt and funk on the walls in the hallways and classrooms for the previous year.    
Now I realize due to budget shortfalls, these schools maybe did not have it in their budget to hire a cleaning service.    But I would have thought they would have been smart enough to ask for some volunteers....
I would have donated a day or two to help clean.

Example reviews:

"This school has absolutely changed my son's life! He is a brilliant kid who has a learning disability, and the staff absolutely understands his situation and teaches the way he learns! They are so insightful, understanding and capable, I feel lucky that we are part of that community."

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
