I was in the NMUSD for all 12 years of my elementary and high school education. Overall, It was a great school district to be in, very high level academics as well as good high school athletics. Both elementary and middle/high school were very inclusive and offered lots of activities to participate in. There are a lot of APs, usually at least 1 that people can find themselves interested in. As well as a wide variety of athletics from flag football, to ice hockey, to golf. Overall, I had a good experience with NMUSD.
This district has excellent schools in the area and is probably the best district to send your kids to with schools like Kaiser Elementary, Ensign Intermediate School, Newport Harbor High School, Early College High School and Corona Del Mar Middle/High all being incredible schools for any children.
I admired the district since they had eligible finical aid to all low-income households. Especially during the pandemic, without the district many families would have struggled to pay rent due to job loss.
I admired my education during my years, mostly English and math. When I was little I was not able to understand many definitions but now growing up I can read and speak without stuttering as much. Math was my favorite class time to time since I would of course forget the techniques over summer break. I cannot believe I was a pro at multiplying during third grade but now I'm solving algebra problems. I may stress during my classes but I have to put into thought.
My parents did not attend to any education in my age. Without them encouraging my brothers and I, we would have asked to dropout and start working at a young age. Me loving school was for my parents to show my thanks, so when I am older I will try my best to buy out first home or a two bedroom apartment.
