My child is making very low grades since she has been at Nevittforest. She also complains about not understanding the way her teacher teaches Close Quote

I am a graduate of Nevitt Forest Elementary; albeit from the late 1970s. How did this once wonderful school descend to its current status - ie.. one of the worst-ranked public elementary schools in South Carolina and with a population of about 97% receiving free lunch? This was once a wonderful, strong middle class school in a safe, clean and beautiful part of Anderson. It was an idyllic place in the 1960s - 1980s. How sad it has come to this! Close Quote
