It's very nice a lot of thing could change a lot of smokers and drugs around the school and campus needs to be more maintained for the drugs and then it would be a better school

My experience with Northside High School has been good and bad. You meet great people and the school is very diverse. But sometimes the school does bad with deadlines. We've had the yearbooks come late every year I've been at this school. Seniors also had their end of year field trip canceled. But all in all it's not the worst school to go to. Nice teachers and the school does prepare you for college.

Just like any other school, Northside has it's hiccups every once in a while, but the majority of my experience was nothing but pleasant.
