La peor escuela de Estados Unidos, la subdirectora es una racista, no tiene educación ninguna, prácticamente me secuestraron a mi hijo.

As a volunteer tutor, I have always been respected by the teacher, my views have been reinforced if they are on point, and the classroom environment is conducive to learning the subject matter being discussed.

I volunteer tutor for a teacher who is strict but she repeats her directions twice and praises good answers and behavior. The atmosphere created is very conducive to learning.

I know Principal Luna well, and it is very advantageous that he speaks both English and Spanish fluently, given the school's high percentage of Hispanic students. I have observed that he has a very positive attitude when dealing with students, faculty, and volunteers.

I have not experienced any presence of bullying, so I do not know how it is handled.

I love Nathan Adams Elementary, so far it's been such an amazing experience for my daughters and for me as a parent. I love the dual language program. My daughters are excited that they have the opportunity to learn in both languages (Spanish and English) at the same time. They have the best teachers. They are very caring, patient and loving. Their after school programs are amazing. They love joining their Chess Club every year. Hopefully, the new Principal will do the same amazing job as Ms. Mcgill did on the past year. Go Armadillos!!!!!!

FANTASTIC School! Principal McGill is a wonderful woman, and genuinely loves her job and cares about her students. The teachers are great, and they do their very best at making sure the parents are informed, and that students stay on track with their learning and grades. The school is very nice and clean, they are always doing some sort of updating, like the student garden, to make the school as nice as possible. I always feel that my daughter is safe and in good hands while she is in school. Nathan Adams has a great in-house afterschool program which is very helpful to us working parents. The PTA is great. Although I don't have the time to be a part of it, I am very thankful for all they do for our kids. I would be very sad if I everhad to take my daughter out of there to go to another school. You can't get much better than Nathan Adams. The Nathan Adams Armadillos ALWAYS beat the rest!!
