My daughter's first year in 6th grade went smoothly, with nice and helpful teachers. But as she transitioned into 7th grade it started to get horrendous. These teachers don't actually teach ANYTHING, all students are always on the Chromebooks and never get assigned any worksheets, or any real work, this specifically goes to all of the new teachers because all the old ones left. Lots of past teachers were leaving without anybody knowing why which made the learning for my daughter's second year drop. This school also does portfolio 6th-8th, but for my daughter's experience in 7th grade they had no portfolio help and the teachers were barely present. Beware, your children wont be learning in this school.

Her behavior was no way as extreme as stated. The boys in the class were the ones out of control. The school even made a false CPS report against me. My daughter was found wandering the campus unsupervised. I was livid!!! The after school program is ran by a whole bunch of young people who don't know how to supervise kids! It was just too much.

I will begin with stating that our child was 6 years old in 2nd grade, which is young. He started a new school and we were getting a phone call every single day. EVERY SINGLE DAY. He is not that bad as he has had perfect days in his new school. We had already told them that he would need a transition time adjust to this new school and older schoolmates. The story begins..... The principal, Kelvin Jackson, told our child to "Shut up and come with me." after a particularly tough day at school. He did sent us an apology letter. As his father, I could accept that, but we knew that this wasn't the school for him to grow in faith or academically. We did pay over $600+ for him to be in school for a whole 8 days. We spoke with the on-site superintendent, Jason Yarbrough, (the only other review for the school, see below) after initially getting blown off by him the week before. He stated that we HAVE TO PAY $65 FOR AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE!!! We respectfully let him know that we had pulled him out from the principals actions, but that didn't matter as he continuously pointed out the behavior of our child and justify his principal. Of course we are going above and beyond to let parents know and are getting in contact with the school board. Charles

Let me first say that nobody is as cautious as me when it comes to deciding what school I was going…read moreto put my son in to begin his school life. I am so happy I picked Natomas Christian School (NCS). Prior to my son starting school in August-2015 my beautiful wife and mother to my son died from cancer in January-2015. Needless to say we were still deep in our grief. I was faced with having to decide on the best school for my son that would understand the emotional trauma he was in and would work with me to make his transition as smooth as it could be under the circumstances. I looked at both public school and private schools. I quickly knew public school was not an option. My son needed a school that shared the same Christian beliefs as me, promoted prayer in school, did not use the Common Core curriculum, was affordable, had extended care, had a summer program and had small class sizes. NCS met my expectations to the letter. My son's kindergarten teacher (Mrs. Flowers) was the perfect teacher. She had a background in Psychology and was an experienced teacher. My son's transition was rough in the beginning but his teacher and school prayed for him and worked with him. In time he adjusted fine and was reading by Christmas! He is also good at double digit math and his overall confidence level has improved tremendously. I highly recommend NCS to anyone looking for a new school with small class sizes who view educating kids in the way it should be done. The staff and teachers are top notch and I'm very happy with where my son is emotionally, spiritually and academically. God Bless NCS!!

This school, absolutely HORRIBLE! I wish I could give it 0 stars. I don't usually complain but this…read moreschool is unacceptable. The bathrooms are always locked and dirty, teachers are rude and don't care, once a student peed on his chair because the teacher didn't let him use the bathroom and the bathrooms were also all locked. Don't trust ur kids with the men there as well, I was touched inappropriately and nobody would believe me or listen. I was touched by not one but multiple. Ever since then I always wear baggy clothes that cover my body even though I already wore baggy clothes back then so nobody could blame it on what I was wearing. I'm telling you this school ruined my mental health badly and I never want to go back there ever again. And the social worker/social counselor doesn't care at all and she also twists my words and forces me to talk when I don't feel comfortable talking about something she wants to know, and she also promised not to tell anybody but then the whole office knew and both my parents, of course I didn't tell her remotely close to everything but some stuff were rlly private and it hurt when I found out practically everyone knew, I also told her about me being touched and she didn't really believe me and didn't do anything about it. I was also bullied and there was nothing done about it. I don't recommend this school at all please don't go here I'm begging you. PARENTS BE AWARE!!!

My son just graduated from NP3 High. They do graduations at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium…read morebecause their classes are not as big as the other high schools. Unfortunately, because of that, there's very limited attendance available, and you're unable to buy more tickets for graduation day due to the limited seating. The education there is top notch. The office staff is extremely nice and personable. Teachers are great at communicating. They have an "advisory" class, whereas they learn life skills and am with the same "advisor" the whole middle school years (6-8) and another "advisor" the whole highschool years (9-12), so you always have a liaison who's looking out for your child. Seniors do a "senior project" that is community-based and they eventually present to a panel of teachers and community volunteers. There are several college prep days for both students and parents throughout the years. Because it is a small school, their proms, homecoming, and sports teams are not prominent, but their academic classes are rigorous and one of the best in the area. Unfortunately, it is definitely a hard school to get into, so consider yourself lucky if your child gets enrolled here. This was our first highschool experience and hopefully won't be our last (hoping to someday get our daughter into the school as well).
