Nova Blanche Forman Elementary School

I have had a positive experience so far.

Teachers and administration are great but if your kid is smart be aware that the rest of the class will hold your child down. Unfortunately, majority of parents don't care about their kids education. Half of the class don't even bother to attempt to complete a homework? Parents don't chaperone on field trips and honestly if you see them you will be happy that they don't. Nova is not the same school it was before and getting only worse...

I was very excited when we found out she was picked for the lotto for this school so I expected a lot. Unfortunately, it was not what I thought it would be.The schools playground itself seems to be small, outdated, and filthy which sounds silly to complain about but is a big factor in a child's daily exercise. The supporting administrative staff in the front office are friendly and are willing to address any questions you may have. But the professional staff can use some social skills. I can't speak for all of the teachers, but my child's teacher does not maintain communication with parents such as progress, conferences, or parent involvement. The school is not bad but it is not good either...just isn't for us. It would be a "decent" neighborhood school, but I can't imagine any parent hoping their child is picked to attend here. They can improve on their communication, there is just a large disconnect from parent-to-parent as well as parent and school.

I have two kids that attend this school. My oldest daughter has Mrs. Thompson for 2nd grade. She's a wonderful caring teacher. She keeps the parents informed about their kids progress as well as what will be going on in the coming weeks. The office staff is also super. I'm proud to be apart of the Nova family.
