NCS is pleased to share that our school was given the “high performing” designation based on our California School Dashboard results.This is reflective of the extensive work our school has implemented to support students throughout the pandemic While we still have more work to do, especially around absenteeism and math, we appreciate all our teachers, staff, and community have done to support our students the past four years. Special shout out to the families who are helping us tackle chronic absenteeism by ensuring your students are regularly attending school.
