My girls go here and we LOVE it. I cant believe the review below about Mrs. Kennington. I would consider her a part of my family and both of my girls have had her and LOVE her. She is amazing!!

Nichols was a GREAT adventure for me. There was some fights and cries along the way but, we all got through it :). Have a great year guys. And always take the opportunity to get another chance!

Great school main focus is education not I have the coolest shoes or clothing!

Nichols Elementary at 4250 Old Grove Rd, Oceanside, CA earns its 4 of 10 educational rating. I have two young boys; one in 1st and one in 4th grade. The 4th grade teacher is exemplary, exactly what I expect from a respectable school. But the first grade teacher Ms. Kennington is disappointing. Typically I side with the teacher against my kids but after a few of these incidents clearly leading back to Ms. Kennington, I discovered how detrimental this lady is to the education and safety of the children exposed to her (testament of numerous families who have students in her purview). I filed complaints with the Principal Mr. Moran and other teachers only to be informed at the end of the school year that she had been made aware of the situation. It is disheartening to know that regardless of how dangerous a teacher is to the health and education of students, there will be nothing done when it is brought to the attention of the proper authorities. This was a series of serious situations we wish we could have avoided. We are remediating our 1st grader over the summer to hopefully prepare him for second and transferring both our students to another school elsewhere in the district.

The school is lice infested and refuses to send notices home to inform anyone. I dont like the teachers or the staff. They dont work with parents and I have spent this entire year combating lice every other month. My nephew had the same issue during his three years there.
