My daughter just came this school year as a 5th grader. I have been nothing but impressed at how Nesbit has come together to help and embrace my daughter. I was a Gwinnett County School bus driver and my even my Nesbit route was top notch. I would recommend Nesbit to any family that was looking for a place of higher learning, love and acceptance.
