I have never seen a school take such a drastic turn for the worst in such a short amount of time. This drastic change can all be attributed to the school's new principal, Jodie Ricci. The school was once a great place under the previous principal, but Jodie has begun kicking students out left and right for their first, and often times very minor infraction. She has completely upended the principles the school used to operate on, of investing and believing in kids, and pushing them to do better. Hell, she even brought along a pedophile strength coach with her from Hawken, where she used to teach! NDCL has become a place where the students are not cared for or treated properly. The school used to be much better, but unfortunately things have changed in recent years. This is not a good place to send your kids. In the past few years, so many families have had to scramble and find a new school for their kids to attend, and these are good kids that made one small mistake, as kids do! Enrollment is already down for next year, as Jodie expelled approximately 15 students in this past year alone. It is worth noting that more than half of these students were freshman with no previous violations. Do not let this happen to your family. I really hope this place seeks some better leadership going forward. read more
