This incident occurred in October 2021, and it reflects serious concerns about student safety and…read morehow issues are handled at this school. My son was bullied by another student who also encouraged others to join in. He was pushed, dragged, hit, and even had his shoe taken off and thrown. When we reported this, the response from Vice Principal Jenny Amaya was extremely disappointing. She dismissed the situation by saying my son was "being annoying," which is not an acceptable justification for physical bullying. What made the situation worse is that the vice principal had my child change his statement without my authorization. She essentially coached him on what to say, and the revised statement appeared to minimize what happened and protect the school. This is where everything escalated and became even more concerning. There also appeared to be a conflict of interest, as the student who initiated the bullying was reportedly related to the vice principal. This raises concerns about fairness and whether the situation was handled objectively. At the time, the school also had a new principal who seemed unaware of what was going on, and no meaningful action was taken. I reported the issue to the district, but nothing was done. The lack of accountability and follow-through is very concerning. Overall, this experience left us feeling that the school does not provide a safe or supportive environment for all students. I hope improvements are made so that no other family has to go through a similar situation. Some teachers are great!

Great public school with great teachers!!!…read more There are two different after-school/summer school programs available at this school, A.R.C.C. and A.S.E.S. A.R.C.C. stands for Academic Recreational Child Care, and A.S.E.S. stands for After School Education and Safety. To my understanding A.R.C.C. is a paid program with no wait list and A.S.E.S. is a free program with a wait list. Both programs offer great incentives to Norwalk's children. The teachers and office staff at Nuffer are very compassionate and really care about the education and needs of their students. During the school year, traffic and parking here gets really busy, as there are 2 other schools close by. The traffic enforcers (?) for both Nuffer and Los Alisos schools are really nice and do their job well.

What I can say is the school has been nothing but amazing and full of improvements; that is including PTA. All of his teachers ; including the RSP teacher, that worked with him were amazing and were very accommodating. The office staff listens and try there best to be very understanding. What I liked most about every last teacher is, they held him accountable for his actions. His 5th-grade year seemed to be more challenging ranging from playground issues to getting called a racial slur, Etc. The principal and the staff did an amazing job of handling the situation. Lord knows I wanted to leave work and go pick him up. I was able to calm down and trust that the staff had it and she (they) did, Thank you, Mrs. Perez & Mrs. Togia. If there was a concern the staff in the office took care of the situation as soon as they could. The small complaint I had; staff took care of it the next day. In conclusion, I wouldn't have chosen a better school for my son to go too.

After searching and searching for a place to put my only son, we had given up hope of finding a…read moregreat school for our son. We had already started the process of signing him in to the public school that pertained to our area. We walked in to the main officeof this dreaded public school and it felt like a DMV office. People with a blank stare like they didnt like there job and they made us feel like we were bothering them because we were keeping them from gossiping about their daily live. Full disclosure, im a father who may be a bit overprotective but with public schools being the way they are I wasnt about to leave my son just anywhere. Thankfully, we were blessed by the FISH radio station, because they were offering partial tuition to christian private schools and this one was the closest to our home. The very first day the receptionist, welcomed us in with a friendly smile and offered to show us around!!! Try asking for the tour at a public school and see the faces you get. This NCA school is small and homey and you know the staff understands that children will perform their best in a nurturing environment. You can even participate in the school which leaves you at easy because you feel like the school has nothing to hide......they get it!

Parents can attend English or Spanish workshops while the children are in class to learn games that build on the kids' lessons. They are supposed to be doing hands-on math activities but in the first week, what he brought home are drawings of a shark and his house. He says he counted up to 103 and plays with blocks on the table (sorting groups?). I'd like them to do basic arithmetic because the boy already knows numbers as well as shapes from preschool, and I expected to see crafts or hear about puzzles that compared length/identified patterns.

I children came here for years and within the last year I have had to complain about other children at the location hitting pinching biting and slapping my kids in private areas , yet the staff here especially Shelia over looks these issues and then decides to pick and choose favorites. This is a very unprofessional location and I highly advise you if you do care about your child's well being DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. I will be complaining to social services and children's home society about this location. Very very disappointed.
