Nova High School Reviews

Reviewed
by a  Parent  L Foley
The NOVA experience is phenomenal.  Teachers at NOVA are committed to teaching excellence, high academic standards and believe and practice the tenets of social justice.
 
Much like A. S. Neill's Summerhill, NOVA is built on the principles of self-expression, self-motivation, and individual responsibility.  For students who wish and their is much to ignite all so they do"wish," the NOVA experience prepares students to be citizens of a multicultural world.

really bad. they dont teach ,they just support, the bright students who can teach themselves. most teachers in most seattle schools dont teach anymore.
 example they just speak french or spanish and expect the kids to learn it.
 
its easy for teacher to do nothing and get thier paychecks that way.. they have esoteric reasons and teaching methods ,which are usless and DONT WORK,   so they can get paid for doing very little.....

Please use this forum to share any information about the strengths and weaknesses of this school that you think would be helpful to parents who are considering this school for their children. We've provided them with the hard data but this is a place where they can get a sense of the school's culture and environment. Your review will be read and posted by our team within a few days if it meets our guidelines.

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!!"

Guidelines:

  • Please be thorough and specific when reviewing a school and try to describe several aspects of the school, rather than focusing on just one. Reviews should be between 10 and 150 words.
  • When it comes to using a teacher or administrator's real name, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

  • Parents and teachers, please write only one review for each school your children attend.
