Parras (Nick G.) Middle School

My experience with this school has been a fun and enjoyable time. Homework is light and reasonable. Teachers here are experienced and interactive with students. Facilities are well maintained and have a great design. Activities are fun and a great experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this school.

We left this school in the middle of the school year in a previous year. It is my experience that the administration at the school and district level are poor to mediocre, and do not have a growth mindset. Leaders and many staff lack self-reflection, critical thinking, character, and a passion for youth development and education.

Parras is the best! First, the campus is beautiful and has been tastefully improved over the years. The education students get is top notch with the most innovative strategies! They have advisory period, block schedule, and intervention programs in place. I’m a teacher of 12 years in a neighboring district and am envious of all the happenings at this school. Their scores and list of awards are incredible. Leadership when Dr. Nygren was there was the best—he’s a mastermind and truly leads that school. He’s also so fair and honest—with a upbeat attitude and awesome sense of humor. Back to School Night isn’t the same without him. Teachers and counselors are great too!

This school is amazing and my kids definitely love it. Staff is amazing, learning environment is amazing all I can say is amazing
