The school is unable too make the children learn. Those of us who do attempt too learn? We cannot, due too other students. The teachers here try, but fail. The student only listen to those they want too, and if not? You wont learn. Ive been too many schools in another state, and NEVER have I had such a bad educational experience. Ive been bullied at one school, but Id go back: because at least I learned at that school. Also- the student have vapes, and other things? How does that get passed teachers who check bags? Anyway- I was also extremely disappointed too know my education is being mishandled here, because of my peers. I used too have a 4.23 gpa, now Im unsure what I have. But, I know its low. Im unable too learn, and its extremely frustrating. We read a book once? I finished it under an hour. Another book? I read at my old school MONTHS ago. This school is so far behind, and discipline isnt helping.
Do NOT send a child who is academically strong, to this school. Itll ruin them. Like its done too me.

I am currently attending this school and the some of the staff are very rude they don't represent the school in a professional matter . A school should be a learning environment and staff should take their job seriously. Hall moniters yell and curse at the students and take it too far. And say very inappropriate things to the stubents. Also the main office isn't organized and responsible with documents . The principle is rarely there she is only seen on special events or when important people are in the building. I have had a substitute for more tthan 3 months and it might sound over exaggerated but we keep getting replacements and they leave shortly after. There is no behavior problems from students but the staff can be much better

NAF is a good school, rules are very strict and you will face consequences once disobeyed. I love it.

My child had a horrible experience at this school. The programs and extracurriculars listed are very inaccurate. Please visit this school before letting your child attend.
