School Reviews
5 4/4/2013
My children have attended NEA for a few years now. I have been very pleased with the quality of education my children are receiving. It is my understanding that the students in the the elementary grades are ahead of students in the public schools for the same grade level. The class sizes are small and teachers can give one on one attention. The school also has a good athletics department for middle and high school students. So if you have a child that loves sports but does not have the opportunity to play for the school they currently attend, then maybe NEA is a good place to try.

It is a good school. The classes are smaller than in public school. I feel like the teachers care about the students and teach for the love of teaching. The students are getting a quality education too. In fact, I know of a senior that is getting a full ride scholarship to a very well known NC university in Bouis Creek this year.
