Northside College Prep Hugh School is an excellent school. Its community is very welcoming and the teachers are understanding. It is a rigorous school with a curriculum that meant to prepare students for college.

It was a good experience. I met a lot of new people but the administration kinda sucks and our sports are terrible but this school is focused on academics anyways.
10/29/2024
Not much drug usage or anything like that so administration is less strict and the bathrooms aren't horrible. Not many fights or drama. The school size is pretty small and there isnt a huge selection of classes.

NCP feels like a private school. It has a beautiful campus, superb teaching staff, private tutors, and childr...
