Rating 4.14 out of 5 7 reviews
NYOS Charter School has a small, tight-knit community that enables the students to work more effectively with their teachers and with each other, resulting from its small size. This further breeds higher involvement among students and parents in school and extracurricular activities, making them some of the best in the area.
However, resulting from its small size and charter school nature, NYOS has poor access to resources and adequate funding for classes and extracurricular activities sponsored by the school. A substantial majority of funds raised for these are through the teachers, parents, and students, more so than in other schools, which does, unfortunately, limit the abilities and reach of many extracurricular activities and classes, which has often discouraged students. If this could be changed, in that NYOS could receive more funds, the small, tight-knit community, empowered with proper funding, would result in a high class educational opportunity through NYOS.

I honestly didn't want to go to Nyos at first. I wanted a normal, stereotypical high school experience at a huge school with rowdy pep rallies and crowded hallways. Nyos (Not Your Ordinary School) is quite the opposite: a small charter school with about 90 kids per class. It's not quite what I wanted at first but I've noticed in the close to 4 years I've been here that I loved the experience of a not so normal school. I love the person it's made me. I wouldn't trade the experiences I've had and the friends I've made for the whole world, much less a stereotypically normal highschool. (the "poor" ratings I give below are in large part because of the lack of funding the school gets)
Nyos is okay school learning wise they are average but overall as a school, they aren't very unorganized.
