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.

He’s in an autism/special education classroom and the staff and neurotypical students could not be better. They teach him by reaching him where he is and lifting him up...
