Nye Elementary School

The school consistently scores pretty high that's because of the teachers most of the female teachers are very effective. I think the male teachers with the exception of one need to go. They seem ready to go in retirement mode. But there is one male 3rd grade teacher who is the greatest and I hear wonderful things about him. He arrived at Nye about 2 or 3 years ago so he's relatively new and very enthusiastic. He's a good teacher!

Nye staff and overall environment is welcoming. The staff genuinely care about their students and strive for excellence. I highly recommend this school. The school provides great after school programs and activities. It’s kept my daughter busy and she absolutely loves her teachers and the supporting staff. Nye has become our family. We have developed close friendships with other Nye parents so the support system is strong between all of us.

If you live in Southeast San Diego or Paradise Hills, this is the school you need to send your kids to. None of the elementary schools in the 92114 or 92139 score as high as Nye. Check the California Dept of Education's website for it's yearly Smart Balanced Assessment scores that come out every year or Schooldigger dot com to compare it

Academically speaking, Nye is the best elementary school in the area (hands down) . Every school is going to say they're the best but the proof is in the scores and if you do the footwork you'll find the information. Compare the scores of this past school year (2014-2015) to other elementary schools in South East San Diego area and there's no comparison. That alone should be enough to enroll your children into this school. Nye is always the top 1 or 2 schools in the area. It's in a good safe neighborhood, school is immaculate and all the parents you'll interact with are pretty nice. I've never had any issues with crazy moms or dads..lol. Quite a few of the teachers are firm, but they are excellent teachers. Your child will learn, so if you feel you have a strict teacher, hang in there, it does pay off and the majority of the teachers do care for the students' well-being. I have 3 kids enrolled now and my 4th just graduated last year and he's at middle school now. Middle school has been pretty much a breeze for him and I attribute it to his excellent teachers at Nye. I'm grateful to have this school for my kids and would recommend it to anyone.
