Don't know about NISD, but I went through NEISD and I have to say I've been SORELY disappointed. The teachers were mostly lackluster, and I almost always knew more about the curriculum than they did. I slept through classes and still got mostly A's. I always felt my official education to be rather pathetic.
My self-studies far outpaced and outclassed the structured, rudimentary busy work passed off as education at my middle and high schools, and they were often considered good schools during the years I was there. Absolutely pathetic, if you ask me.
That's not to say what I received wasn't one of the best educations available in SA at the time, but that I feel US/Texas/San Antonio/NEISD standards of the time were truly horrendous. The poor education made me want to be a teacher so that I could make sure the half-assed education didn't continue (until I ran out of money for college).
