The award-winning NPASC program (North Park Academic Success Program) is an independent study program that combines virtual and in person learning through a district-issued device with the option to participate in extracurricular activities and field trips.

This school makes it really east to stay on top on things, classes aren't to structured. Teachers let you do things on your self but if you need help you can just ask. Their funny you can talk to them easily don't have to be afraid. They don't treat you like kids with all the rules.

It is a continuation High School, so it is obviously more limiting. Most of the people that I graduated with didn't go to college so college prep isn't a priority, but there is very fleshed out auto shop. Many of the people that were invested in cars and in the auto shop there came out to be very successful mechanics. It has great resources when it come to that, and if that isn't your cup of tea Mr. Olrick and Mr. Pratt have very sound advice and suggestions for a student's next step forward.

I went here a year ago, the students are very contagious and disrespectful. The teachers aren't bad people, they can be very helpful and encouraging, but students do not respect their teachers. I think this school would improve if they had more discipline.
