Freshman: Eldorado High School is phenomenal. It is an amazing environment to be apart of, and everyone is so kind. Eldorado not only teaches us teenagers academically, but they also teach us how to be good citizens and what it is like after high school. While some of the facilities may be old the outdoor campus setting is amazing and allows us to feel free and not like a bird trapped in a cage. Our sport programs are truly a gift and the coaches connect with the athletes in a wonderful way. Everyday I see improvement amongst my peers and the same goes for clubs and activities. Eldorado is a beloved school and I wouldn't trade it for anything. It is a place where nobody is excluded and the teachers and student get along. I love the school, teachers, students, coaches, security offices, lunch ladies, janitors, and everything that makes this school the way it is. Go Eagles!... Read 747 reviews

Niche User: It's been a really good school with the exception of 3rd grade. The teacher my kid had was terrible. He was very unhappy the whole year and we really couldn't do anything about it. By the time I figured out how bad this teacher was it was too late to change teacher's. The other 3rd grade class was full so no way to get in to it. We are hoping it's not as bad of a year for the incoming 3rd graders & a GREAT year for my kid...... Read 3 reviews

Parent: We have been very happy with NMIS. We've had excellent teachers and our child really enjoys school. The language immersion and IB programs are wonderful. I think the IB projects are great learning experiences. I also really appreciate the art and music classes. The past year has been rough with covid and online learning, but NMIS teachers and staff have worked so hard to make the best of the circumstances. We are so happy to be back to full time in-person school now!... Read 12 reviews

Parent: I absolutely think Coral Community Charter School lives up to every aspect of their name! They are MORE than a Community, it's family! The staff is so close knit and they take the time to get to know each student and their families. I appreciate that Coral does not treat my children as just another number in their system, they treat them as an important human being that strives for greatness and gives them the tools for success. My children were given a Personal Education Plan (P.E.P) from the beginning, which tailors to their personal learning and social-emotional goals. The individualization ensures my children will gain the needed support and tools for success. I appreciate the single gender strategies implemented, because boys and girls learn differently! I appreciate that Coral allows my children to move around in the class, they believe that children retain more information while given the opportunity to move around. When looking for a QUALITY school, Coral is the place for you... Read 24 reviews

Parent: This is my child's 2nd year at ASE and we absolutely love it! The teachers and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, the diversity is unbelievable and overall just a very welcoming place to be. They communicate well and welcome the parents to be involved in everything, especially to follow your child's progress and their grades. It has also been a relief to know all the safety measures and precautions they have in place to protect the students during this pandemic. They truly take their health and well being seriously. I highly recommend this school!... Read 11 reviews

Parent: My two sons have attended this school for years and I cannot speak highly enough of it! The care, concern, professionalism, expertise, kindness, and so much more, just pours from each TMEMS employee. My 1st grade son just wrote an essay about how much he loves his teacher. My older son is in middle school and is thriving too. If you want a place for your child to excel, this is it.... Read 1 review

High School Senior: I would choose this school if I could do it again because it was very fun interactive lessons and the teachers were amazing at their job. I am where I am because of how much effort the teachers from this school put into their lesson plans. I am very thankful to all the staff of this school for allowing me to experience so much while I attended the school.... Read 2 reviews

Parent: Our son has attended Alice King Community School since Kinder (now in 4th grade). We absolutely love this school! The teachers that have worked with our son have been amazing! He has a learning difficulty and they have worked with him to help him “catch up” and perform at grade level. He loves his teachers, classmates, and looks forward to going to school every day which is such a blessing. Administration is very responsive if a concern ever comes up. We are very happy!...
