I love the way the teachers interact with students. They make sure that students know the material and at the same time, the students also make decisions for themselves. Not only that, but there is a lot of interactions within students that happens within the classroom, therefore students aren't just staring at textbooks or working independently (although there is designated time for that). The teachers are also ready to give advice about most things when you ask them something. In addition, the material is challenging; students aren't just learning the same content over and over again. There is a lot of variety. Last but not the least, the change in students is clear. When looking at their work from the beginning of the school year to the end of the school year, they have improved in their writing, math, scientific knowledge, and much more. I love the school!
As a senior, I highly recommend this high school. Attending NEST+M for three years now, I can say that I have had many wonderful experiences. The teachers are strict but fair. They have high expectations of their students as they are admitted to a gifted and talented program. Students are expected to be hardworking and driven individuals. If they do not understand the concepts, it is their responsibility to ask the teachers for help. Don't be intimidated to ask NEST+M teachers for help, they always want the best for you. They want their students to succeed. NEST+M provides a healthy, safe, and supportive learning environment. This school also promotes mental health awareness. In freshmen year, students are required to take a theatre class that focusses on subjects such as vulnerability and confidence. This class allows for an easier transition for incoming freshmen.
I personally enjoy the social aspect of this school since it’s really easy to make friends and really connect with one another. Along with that there are some really cool teachers who try their best to build connections with their students and go out of their way to make sure we’re learning. Some hold after school help and spend their free time creating extra resources for their students. The only reason I gave a 4 star is because there are still teachers who aren’t very good and although they are nice, no one really learns anything from them. Along with that, if you want changes to happen in your school where some teachers are being unfair or any other problems you’re having, the school takes statements but nothing ever comes from it.
