I have two children that attend NWBS and Ihad heard good things but have been very disappointed. My 1st graders teacher told me that because my son got in trouble i wasn't allowed to pick them up from school until a certain time. The front office staff has been rude to me. My 3rd graders teacher said to me with the director listening that she was done helping my child and she doesnt know how to help him any longer. My son isnt a big trouble maker but he does talk out in class. I get no positive feedback from the teachers or principle just negative and that my son is makeing other children learning expierence horrible. We have never had any issues in previous years with this type of thing. The teacher also took my sons chair away and made him stand to the point his feet were hurting and when asked about this she denied and said she couldnt recall this happening. My children will not be atteding next year and thank goodness the school year is almost over!!! Close Quote

Great school! Strong Saxon math program. Dedicated teachers and staff members. My children have attended there for over four years and are performing beautifully academically. Thinking Maps are taught and used in all core curriculum areas. Love the Social Studies Weekly newspapers, field trips and extra curricular activities offered. As parents, we are proud of what our NWBS students are learning. Close Quote

I have two children that attend Noah Webster Basic School. My oldest has attended for four years. I can not say enough about the teachers and staff. They are attentive and caring for both academic and social needs of the children. Close Quote
