“My 4 kids are attending NFCS for the first year. It is truly a good school 1 of of my sons has progressed greatly since switching from public to charter. The teachers are very good. They let you know how your children are doing whether it's good or bad. They will continue to go there.”

“The Special Education Staff is awesome. My son has done a complete turn around. His teacher Ms. Guerra has lots of patience. I don't have to worry anymore, he has stability at school.”

“I am amazed at the creativity of the teaching staff. They are constantly trying new things to interest their students and improve their learning. Reading and math nights are offered to bring parents into the loop about the TAKS and what our children are facing. Principal's coffee and PTO meetings are available for parents to air out issues. Parents are also welcomed and encouraged to attend board meetings. The school has come very far and is continuing to improve.”

“NFCS has done wonders in the short period it has been operating. Those of us who watched it change management, curriculum, staff and student population can attest to grand gains. Within the last four years with the input of the leadership team, students have made academic progress, found outlets for their talents beyond the classroom and done it all in a safe and nurturing environment. The heart of this school is the people -- a lot of hard working people.”

“New Frontiers has continually made efforts to better the all around situations at the school. Test scores show that. All I can say is 'you can't please all of the people all of the time.' And that goes for any school. And to the the person who posted in Aug 2005 and said that they are forced to adhere to public school regulations with private school funding...you're wrong. There is no private school funding at NFCS, did you pay for your child(ren) to go to school here? In my experienct the teachers are professional and always helpful. I feel that the school has come a long way in the 6 years we've been there.”

“This is going to be great one day, but at this time all I can say is teachers are great. It is that they do not have the computers or enough teachers for the childern. I hope in the future they do well. Thank to the teachers. Happy Mom.”

“New Frontiers is making great progress and challenging area public schools with comparable, if not better, tests results with creative teaching strategies. The fact is that the gains in test scores that this school has experienced is a tribute to the teachers that have been successful and the guidance they have received from both peers and school leadership. New Frontiers continues to strive to address the needs of it's students first and endeavours to recruit the very best teachers that San Antonio has to offer. New Frontiers has made great strides in spite of a few weak links and will continue to provide a wonderful educational experience.....Scoreboard!”

“The schools superintendant(s) seem to be there for the paycheck and not the children (as they profess to be). They also have alienated themselves from the campus as they are rarely seen on campus. The children have no place to play except on a hard top. Classes have about 2 computers per room. Technology is lacking, moral of teachers is low, and they dont seem to care about that either. Parents complain to Principal and nothing gets done. They have to complain to the Vice Principal to get the job done.”

“New Frontiers has endured it's ups and downs like most charter schools. However, the school is poised to make great strides in its endeavours to provide an outstanding education in a safe, nuturing, private school based setting.”

“I tend to feel that this school is lacking in the most important aspects. While it advertises the 'private school' education at the 'public school' price, it is quite misleading. This statement simple means that they are forced to adhere to the public school regulations with the funding of a private school. Parents, do your homework... and stick to your district.”

“This is our first year at New Frontiers. I have a daughter in 3rd grade and one in 7th grade. I feel that the discipline at this school needs to be more harsher. I have noticed that there has been several kids doing whatever they want to do. My children have come home to tell me about the foul language that is used. I plan on moving them to another school next year.”

“Until this current school year I have been pleased with this school. Not overly excited. I was always well informed of my child's behavior and grades but for some reason since entering the fifth grade I am ONLY contacted when one of his teachers has had about all she can take and removes him from everyone else in the class and when he's in danger of failing the semester. I would like to be kept appraised of his behavior good but more importantly when it's bad. He has always been a straight A student but has had a few B's this year and needless to say I am extremely concerned and will most likely be sending him to another school next year.”

“As a guardian to a child that attended this school for two years, it is quite apparent that the children are not the priority. The test scores are continually low, and the quality of education is quite lacking. A child should be challenged, however I would see weeks at a time where my student did not receive homework, and the level that existed when she did was rather sub-par.”

“Unfortunately, this school has forgotten all about the children and have concentrated on power and greed. Since that has become their focus, the children and the academics have gone downhill. The teachers for the most part have carried the brunt of all the many changes in the board and in management. It is now all about a power hungry individual or two. What happened to the kids? At one point for a couple of years we were finally progressing.”

“I have two children who will attend NFCS this Fall. One of my children attended since Kindergarten. I have been very pleased with the staff and teachers. My child has excelled in all subjects. As parents, we have a choice to place our children in the Charter school environment. As always I believe the foundation of our childrens education starts in the home. It takes involvement of parents, students, teachers and administration to ensure the success of the student.”

“Not only was I a parent of a student, but I also was a teacher there during the same period. I felt, as a parent, my child did get attention to her advanced abilities. Unfortunately, as a teacher I was greatly disappointed. I received very little administrative support and the students I had were allowed for so long to do whatever they wanted, they were difficult to control. There ideas were good, no one worked to implement them and so the problems with this school.”

“This school provides a poor environment for assuring success for its students. The administration, especially the principal, lacks the drive it takes to enhance programs for at-risk populations. Her social graces are undermining and irresponsible toward the parents, students and staff. The administration overall cares nothing about the children being served and finds it quite the necessity to constantly remind everyone who is in control. Programs such as special education and ESL have been under constant attack.”
