Nimitz High School Reviews


Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-01-23 “It has excelent teachers and the feeling you get there is like when your at home!” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-02-04 “I love Nimitz. It has an excellent AP and GT program. Those teachers are caring and attend to the students' every need. They also help students extensively on applying for scholarships and filling out college applications. Nimitz's extracurricular activities are also great. The Nimitz Tennis Team were district champs this year; the Nimitz orchestra has gotten sweepstakes in UIL for mny years in a row now; and the Nimitz Decathlon team is literally the best in the state! If you enroll your child/children at Nimitz, be sure to get them into the AP/GT program because it will take them VERY far. Last year, Nimitz had 98 students named AP Scholar by College Board! Out of the entire district, Nimitz received the most money for scholarships and the highest AP scores.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-04-11 “Good school. It's also my alma mater and my daughter went here. Caring teachers and a good GT program.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-03-08 “I have had 2 kids graduate from Nimitz High,and also still have one enrolled. My main concern with this school is the student/teacher ratio. Too many kids in one class. Most classes have over 30 children. It's hard for teachers to stay on task when you are trying to corral all those kids.My youngest complains of how disruptive the classes are because tjhere are so many students to a class.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2006-03-06 “I graduated from Nimitz High School in 1989. I loved it. Had wonderful teachers and a fantastic experience.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 3 2006-01-10 “Hi, I am a former student at Nimitz High School, and I am very happy with all the teachers, I think they're great! as far as the student goes, I think that theres not enough discipline in the school. As far as the counselors goes, I think they're not doing a good job, They are not communicating with students and NOT doin they're job as counselor. Overall I think is a good school to attend, it just need new dedicated conselors.” Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2005-08-27 “I an not satisfied with Nimitz High School this following year as a fresman. Although we do offer many AP courses, I do not like its status.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2005-05-24 “I think the academy is the best high school in irving.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 4 2005-04-07 “Parent Involvement is low, but overall, this is a pretty good school. Because of low test scores, Nimitz kicked into high gear to get their students prepared for the next test. The amount of dedication from the staff and faculty to ensure that the students do well on their tests is amazing!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2005-03-07 “I try to stay involved in my sons schooling and communicate through email, however only two teachers respond with me. I sign things and return but months later I find it in child's room. Teachers dont have a system in place for the students who do not return these items like progress reports, referrals, and even report cards. It would help students if teachers would let parents get involved with their classes.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 1 2005-03-07 “Students who are tardy to class get referral to office where they then miss out on learning do to waiting for principal to talk with them. I use to attend Nimitz and now I have a son that attends Nimitz. I have experienced that the principals care nothing for these kids and their education and I have seen some racism first hand between staff and students. I think Nimitz needs to re staff and quick.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-02-03 “Musical programs are amazing. The Marching and Concert bands are phenomenal.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2005-01-06 “I attended Nimitz High School myself and I have to say that the involvement of the student body is enormous. Most of the students that have attended Nimitz in the past would agree that the teachers and faculty do as much as they can to be involved in the student's lives. They want[ed] us to succeed in life and they know that they are a big part of that. The teacher that runs the community service club is fantastic, everything that she has is put into her career. She keeps students wanting to come back and volunteer their time some more. The other Irving ISD schools have teachers that may come close to this, but do not quite reach the criteria. She is just one example of all the fine teachers that are on campus at Chester W. Nimitz High School in Irving, Texas. God Bless Nimitz!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2004-12-03 “They seem to be interested in the way kids dress at this school instead of teaching. I have talked to parents at the other Irving High Schools and they don't seem to focus on dress. Another thing the 10th grade Vice Principal doesn't have time to return phone calls or talk to the students that she is in charge of.” Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2004-11-25 “I am a graduate of Nimitz. For residents of IISD, Nimitz is the best school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2004-09-28 “Nimitz needs a new leader. The administration is looking for the easy way out and not for what is in the best interest of it's students. Schedule changes take an act of Congress and it shouldn't be hard to tell when a student and teacher are not benefiting from a class by the grades earned or issued. All of my dealings with the administration have been horrendous. I graduated from Nimitz and my parents never had the problems I have encountered with my teen. I now understand why so many parents have moved their teens to Irving High School.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2004-07-23 “I am a Viking Alumni and just want to let everyone that Nimitz is such an awesome school. The teaching and the atmosphere are a one of a kind experience. If I were given the chance to do high school all over again, I would do it with a quickness as long as it was back at Nimitz!” Posted By: other Quality Score: 5 2003-10-17 “I am a graduate of Nimitz, and I think that it is one of the best schools in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. I graduated in 1991. Most of the teachers I had were wonderful. The school spirit was tremendous. There wasn't really a problem with gangs and stuff like that. We were all just one big happy family!! My son just started kindergarden at J.O. Davis this year, but I am hoping that when he is ready for high school, that he will be able to go to Nimitz.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2003-08-26 “I loved this school for many years that I continue to follow up with all the programs. I've been out of school for many years and continue to see former students achieving great goals that faculty and staff have help[ed] to inspire. Go Vikings class of 2004.”
